Maggie's is a groundbreaking cancer center that focuses on providing free emotional, social and practical support to people with cancer and their loved ones. A new structure in the Royal Oldham hospital will be built to create Maggie's second location in greater Manchester.
The new Maggie's center will be built on a sloping garden offering rooms with beautiful views and plenty of natural light. The goal for the center is to create a calm and uplifting environment for all visitors. The design of Maggie's Oldham will resemble a small glazed timber box overlooking a garden. The center will also feature an open concept interior to further encourage support and togetherness among both patients and visiting family members and friends.
