If you, or someone you love, has been diagnosed with cancer, Maggie’s is here for you. Our centres are built in the grounds of hospitals, near to the NHS cancer centre. In every centre, you’ll find a bright and welcoming space full of the kind of support that people facing cancer need and deserve.

Our centre in Glasgow is a striking, single storey building, designed by Rem Koolhaas. It is formed as a ring shape around a landscaped internal courtyard and is nestled among the woodland in the grounds of Gartnavel Hospital. The centre is a space for being together or for a moment alone, for getting going again or for meeting people who just get it. Our Cancer Support Specialists have expert knowledge about cancer and treatment. No appointment or referral is necessary, just come in. As well as expert support and guidance we also run a programme of therapeutic classes, workshops and courses. All our support is free. Lily Jencks, daughter of Maggie’s co-founders, Maggie Keswick Jencks and Charles Jencks, designed the internal courtyard plantings and the wooded glades areas surrounding the centre. 'Everything has been designed to show an enthusiasm for life and you need that when you’re fighting cancer – you need something to give you a bit of life and power.' Lily Jencks

Directions: From Great Western Road (car, bus or foot): Enter Gartnavel Hospital site and turn right at the traffic lights onto Shelley Road. Follow the yellow SGS open signs.
