Maggie's Yorkshire

Maggie's Yorkshire logo

The Maggie's Yorkshire centre is an award winning building designed by the Heatherwick Studio. Maggie’s has now grown into a network of centres built beside NHS hospitals across the UK. 

Every Maggie’s is thoughtfully designed to be calming and welcoming; a place to escape from the clinical environment of the hospital. There are no reception desks and no clocks; instead, we have comfy sofas and plenty of time.

Our workshops, courses, one-to-one, and group support help people to change the way they live with cancer.

We focus on the things that really make a difference, like money worries, help with stress and low mood, managing side-effects and relationship and family support. Our support has been shown to improve physical and emotional wellbeing and to help people take control when cancer turns life upside down.

Understanding every person’s individual circumstances is central to what we do and means we can guide them to the support that will help them the most

Our Cancer Support Specialists are experienced oncology nurses, radiographers and other healthcare professionals. We have a Psychologist available to provide private, group, or family support.

Our Benefits Advisors can offer guidance on how to claim for practical things like parking permits and extra money.

Group support is available for people with any type of cancer and their friends and families: before, during or after treatment.

At Maggie's Yorkshire, we're here to support everyone affected by cancer.
