Maggies has pioneered a programme of psychological, practical, and social support available free of charge to people with any type of cancer delivered by an expert team, including cancer support specialists, clinical psychologists, benefits advisors, nutritionists and relaxation therapists. 

Support by professional staff is available face to face in the centre or by phone, email or online to help people with stress, fear and anxiety as well as money worries and questions about treatment.

Maggies at Southampton General Hospital, will significantly improve the experience for people with cancer from the Channel Islands. We will offer an alternative and welcoming space to the hospital waiting rooms and hotel accommodation offered to those having long inpatient treatment off island. 

You will benefit from having space to rest, to access information and group or individual support and to meet other people with cancer in the community fostered by Maggies.
