Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres

Lorraine was recently made the first ambassador for the Maggie fund and is proud to support this very worthy charity.

Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres are fundraising to build a Centre at Freeman’s Hospital to serve people affected by cancer across the North East of England.

There are currently around 5,500 cancer diagnoses a year in this region. Maggie’s North East will offer those people, plus their friends and families, a place to visit to gain information, support and inspiration to not only cope with cancer, but to live their lives to the full.

Maggie’s North East will offer a varied programme of free-of-charge support, including a range of classes, from relaxation to tai chi to art therapy; a range of psychological support in group and one to one sessions run by trained psychologists; a library of information, with cancer support specialists on hand to answer question; benefits advice from benefits officer, and much more.

Maggie’s North East is designed by Foreign Office Architects, with quality in architecture and environment a very important aspect of Maggie’s. Like all Maggie’s Centres, Maggie’s North East will be warm and welcoming with an uplifting, inspiring and positive atmosphere.

Before starting construction on the Centre, Maggie’s need to reach a £3million fundraising target (enough to fund the building plus the first two year’s running costs).
