Building has begun for our new 欧美无码 in North Wales

We have broken ground for our new cancer support centre in Denbighshire which has been started thanks to 拢4 million from the Steve Morgan Foundation.

A new Maggie鈥檚 in North Wales has broken ground on Tuesday 1 October 2024.

The centre will be completely commissioned, designed and funded by the and is being built in the grounds of Glan Clwyd Hospital in Bodelwyddan, Denbighshire.

The centre will provide free practical, psychological and emotional support for people with cancer, as well as their family and friends, from across the whole region 鈥 including Bangor and Wrexham. North Wales sees 4800 people newly diagnosed with cancer every year. It is expected the centre will be open by the end of 2025.

Samantha Price, 31, was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2023. She is from Flintshire, North Wales but is supported by Maggie鈥檚, Wirral. She said:

鈥淚 first heard about Maggie鈥檚 when my breast care nurse mentioned it to me after my mastectomy, because I was struggling a lot with everything that was happening to me. I went along to Maggie鈥檚, Wirral as that was the closest centre to me, I sat with one of the cancer support specialists and I instantly felt comfortable and just poured my heart out. I felt a sense of relief getting my feelings and emotions out. 

鈥淚 have been going back ever since and met some great people there. At Maggie鈥檚 you are able to be yourself with no judgment and feel less alone. 

鈥淗aving Maggie鈥檚 in North Wales is going to be so beneficial to so many people, especially for people who don鈥檛 have the means to travel to another Maggie鈥檚 centre.鈥

Dame Laura Lee, Chief Executive at Maggie鈥檚 said: 

鈥淲e are delighted to have broken ground for our centre in North Wales.

鈥淲ithout the Steve Morgan Foundation鈥檚 incredibly generous support in commissioning, designing, building and funding we wouldn鈥檛 have been able to bring Maggie鈥檚 to North Wales and for that I am so grateful.

鈥淭he Steve Morgan Foundation has committed to building three new Maggie鈥檚 centres 鈥 including the one in North Wales 鈥 which is a truly phenomenal act of philanthropy.

鈥淚 am greatly looking forward to continuing to work closely with the Steve Morgan Foundation, and Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board to ensure the people of North Wales have the support which has already been making such a difference to people鈥檚 lives in other parts of Wales for 13 years.鈥

The Steve Morgan Foundation has provided 拢4million to build the centre in North Wales and has already commissioned, designed, built and funded Maggie鈥檚 in the Wirral which officially opened in the grounds of Clatterbridge Cancer Centre 鈥 Wirral in September 2021. In 2023 the centre provided more than 17,500 support sessions to groups or individuals living with cancer.

A third Maggie鈥檚 centre in Liverpool - to be built within the grounds of the New Royal Liverpool Hospital next to the new Clatterbridge Cancer Centre 鈥 Liverpool 鈥 is also in the development stages thanks to the Steve Morgan Foundation.

Steve Morgan, Chairman of the Steve Morgan Foundation, said: 

鈥淲e are delighted to be helping Maggie鈥檚 bring its vital cancer support to the people of North Wales, ensuring they will have the warm, welcoming and free expert support of a Maggie鈥檚 centre right on their doorstep.

鈥淥ur collaboration with Maggie鈥檚 is one of the strongest examples of our philosophy of 鈥榙isruptive philanthropy鈥. It highlights the Foundation鈥檚 ability to 鈥榞ive鈥 well, by harnessing our expertise, practical support and commercial experience to maximise the impact of our financial support.鈥

Glan Clwyd Hospital is managed by Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and is home of the North Wales Cancer Treatment Centre.

Carol Shillabeer, CEO of Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board, said: 

鈥淚 am delighted Maggie鈥檚, with the generous help of the Steve Morgan Foundation, has chosen North Wales as the next destination for its network of support centres. We are all aware of the work the charity does to support those with cancer, those who have had cancer, their families and friends.

鈥淚 am sure this will be a well-used and valued addition which will complement other charity work which takes place, as well as the North Wales Cancer Centre here at Glan Clwyd Hospital. It will provide another layer of support for people across the whole of our region.

鈥淭oday鈥檚 groundbreaking is a significant milestone. I look forward to seeing the final result of all the hard work to come, when the doors open next year.鈥

Maggie鈥檚, North Wales, expected to open in 2025, will be the third Maggie鈥檚 in Wales, with Maggie鈥檚, Swansea opening in 2011 and Maggie鈥檚, Cardiff opening in 2019. These two centres supported people with cancer, as well as family and friends, more than 19,000 times in 2023.

We are hopeful that the Steve Morgan Foundation's generous support will attract other donors and the support of the local community to help us raise the 拢1 million we need to open the new centre.

Maggie鈥檚 provides cancer care and support in bright and welcoming centres across the UK, with 28 years of experience. At Maggie鈥檚 you鈥檒l find expert cancer care and support for everyone with cancer, and their friends and families. 

You can just come into Maggie鈥檚. Maggie鈥檚 support is always free and you don鈥檛 need an appointment or a referral.

In the meantime, people in North Wales can still benefit from Maggie鈥檚 support:
