We are building a Maggie's Centre next to the City Hospital in Nottingham. Maggie's will provide a comprehensive programme of cancer support, which complements the work of the NHS. We have raised over £1.95m and are seeking a further £60,000 to equip and furnish the Centre.

    Situation

    There are over 20,000 people living with cancer in Nottingham and the surrounding counties with 4,000 people newly diagnosed each year. Whilst clinical care in Nottingham is generally excellent, there is little time and space in the hospital environment to explore what a diagnosis of cancer means for patients and their families. Nor is it the ideal place to address the many and varied fears and challenges which carers and family members will face.

    Solution

    Maggie’s Nottingham will offer a place for people to turn to for help with any of the problems, large or small, associated with living with cancer. We support people at any stage of the cancer journey, with a dedicated team of professional staff on hand to help overcome fear, manage stress and anxiety, and get the most out of medical treatment. This will be delivered from an eye-catching yet homely building, designed to comfort and reassure people at a time of great vulnerability.
