Maggie's Centres are for anybody who has, or who has had cancer. They
are also for their families, their friends and their carers.
The aim of Maggie's Centres is to help people with cancer
to be as healthy in mind and body as possible and enable them to make
their own contribution to their medical treatment and recovery.
They allow people to address all aspects of living with
cancer. They can share their experiences with others in similar
situations and, with professional help, inform themselves about the
medical realities of their disease.
The friendly environment of the centres, close in each case to a
major cancer hospital treatment centre, invites people to take time out
and gives them a non-institutional place they can call their own.
People can pop in for a coffee, borrow a book, speak to
someone about their treatment or take part in one of our many courses
designed to help people live with, through and beyond cancer.
Our Centres are open from 9 am till 5 pm and are situated next to oncology units of hospitals across Scotland.
