For our final speaker of January, the club was delighted to welcome Anne Bell who outlined the history of Maggie’s Centres, the breadth of work they now perform and the extent to which they have spread both nationally and internationally.
In addition to cancer support for both sufferers and relatives, Maggie’s also offers a whole range of services including help with money worries, psychological help, a range of clubs such as running or walking groups, or even just a place for people to chat together quietly about the issues they’re facing.
Just keeping a centre open costs around £650,000 per annum, so President Jim was on hand to present a small contribution on behalf of the club.
