“When I went to Maggie’s for the first time, I was in a dark place and I felt like I was falling off a cliff. Maggie’s caught me and I left with a plan but more importantly a smile on my face.” 

Nobody plans for cancer. We don't plan financially, we don't plan it into our careers, and we certainly don't plan emotionally. Although for many the Christmas period brings joy and celebration, for others is may bring difficult questions and challenging times.

Maggie's Manchester is here to support anyone affected by cancer in and around Greater Manchester. Our centre is found in the grounds of The Christie hospital, and anyone using the hospital along with their friends and family can visit us to receive a wide range of support. 

Maggie's provides practical, social and emotional support. This ranges from financial support through our benefits adviser, to occupational advice from our vocational rehab specialist, or emotional support from professional cancer care specialists. Or sometimes, the support a person needs may just be a cup of tea and someone to talk to. 

In 2017 Maggie's Manchester have supported over 13,000 people. We receive no NHS funding. We need your support to keep our doors open, keep our programme running, and to keep supporting the people of Greater Manchester. Please give back this Christmas by supporting our 12 Days of Christmas campaign, and helping us to run our Centre for a day in the new year.
