Maggie’s is here for anyone with cancer, their family and friends, whatever type of cancer and whatever stage in their diagnosis. All our support is free, and no appointment or referral is needed. There is no time limit on our support and it's available online and at one of our 24 centres in the UK.

Situation
Today, there are over 178,000 people living with or beyond cancer in London. Having cancer is traumatic enough, but the pandemic has added to the distress as treatments have been delayed and surgeries cancelled. Experts are warning that England is at risk of "replacing the Covid crisis with a cancer crisis”. Whilst medical teams are focusing on giving the best possible medical care, they do not have the time to answer the overwhelming questions that come when you have cancer. At Maggie’s we do.
Solution
Maggie’s provides free emotional and psychological support to anyone living with cancer, which without, can leave people feeling lost, confused and desperate. Our four centres in London are providing face to face support, alongside telephone and video calls for those unable or too anxious to leave home. We have also launched an online programme of support which includes support groups and classes. This combined approach ensures that everyone in London has access to award-winning cancer care.
