Help 500 people annually receive support in coping with cancer at Maggie’s London for as little as £20 per person
Maggie’s London opened in April 2008 and provides a blend of information, emotional and psychological support to anyone affected by cancer. Services are provided ‘under one roof’ in the positive and inspiring building designed by Lord Richard Rogers, next to Charing Cross hospital.
All services are provided free of charge and without the need for medical referral by a small professional team of highly qualified staff. 500 people annually are expected to benefit from courses including relaxation and visualisation, nutrition, expressive writing, art therapy and tai chi.
Positive outcomes of the courses include helping people with strategies to manage stress associated with their cancer diagnosis. The groups also often help people develop friendships combating the sense of isolation people affected by cancer commonly experience.
£10,000 will help cover the cost of running these courses for a whole year. This works out as little as £20 per person.

Give people affected by cancer access to specialist benefits advice and advocacy at a Maggie’s Centre for as little as £25 per person
9 in 10 cancer patients' households experience a loss of income and/or an increase in costs as a result of their illness. But only half of cancer patients are given any advice on welfare benefits.
Welfare rights and benefits advice is part of the cancer care programme at the award winning Maggie’s Centres. A Maggie’s Centre is a welcoming, friendly and non-institutional place, adjacent to a major cancer treatment hospital, which provide support for people with any kind of cancer, their families, friends and carers. Maggie’s supports people from the moment they ask for help, free of charge, and unconditionally for as long as help is needed.
At Maggie’s London last year, our Benefits advisor, Jay Shah helped nearly 500 vulnerable people improve their household income by an average of £2,500.
