Maggie’s Royal Free
Maggie’s is a charity that provides free support to anyone affected by cancer through our qualified cancer support specialists, benefit advisor and psychologist. Whether someone has just been diagnosed, is struggling with their treatment, or they are a family or friend of someone with cancer we are here for them.
Maggie’s is a national charity and we have 24 centres across the UK. Here at the Royal Free centre, we are the newest and we were opened by HM The Queen in January 2024. We have 3 other centres in London.
