#Maggies supports anyone affected by #Cancer—offering help with #EmotionalSupport#NutritionAdvice#MoneyWorries#WorkSupport & personal relationships. People come to join #SupportGroups, talk to specialists or simply sit quietly. As one visitor shared, “I walked in feeling lost, and always left stronger.” It's a space for support and for starting again.
Designed by #RogersStirkHarbourPartners, #Maggies draws on #RichardRogers concept of a heart nestled within the protective wrapping of four walls, with bright orange facades, soft interiors & a #KitchenTable. Surrounded by gardens, it features thoughtful lighting, a view of the sky & spaces to relax or talk, creating a deep connection between its interior & the nature outside.
#Maggies was born from #MaggieKeswickJencks’ belief that architecture & the environment can support the mind as much as medicine supports the body. One visitor shared, “Talking here changed my mind—from not going ahead to starting treatment.” The centre won the #StirlingPrize in 2009, proving that healing comes not only from medicine, but also from space, presence & dignity.
