Owner Duncan Murray-Clarke said, "We are delighted to be supporting such a worthy cause at our event on November 16th at the Oxford Belfry Hotel. Maggie’s is a national charity with cancer support centres across the country. At its heart, Maggie’s is simply there for anyone and everyone affected by cancer, offering a programme of support that has been shown to strengthen physical and emotional wellbeing – including sessions with a psychologist, yoga and exercise courses, nutrition workshops, tai chi and much more"  

All Maggie’s Centres are based in the grounds of NHS cancer hospitals, providing free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their family and friends. This support is delivered by professional teams, in homely, calming environments, following the original suggestions of the charity’s founder, Maggie Keswick Jencks.

The first Maggie’s Centre opened in Edinburgh in 1996 and since then Maggie’s has continued to grow, with 20 Centres at major NHS cancer hospitals in the UK and others abroad. Maggie's also has an Online Centre which supports people regardless of their location. Many more Centres are in the planning with the aim being to have 30 Centres in the near future.

Maggie’s receives no government funding, and therefore relies on voluntary income such as our support to continue being there for people affected by cancer.
