Other organisations we work with

The Wellness Community (TWC), founded in 1982 as a non-profit organisation based in the USA providing support, education, and hope to people with cancer and those they care for.

In the early days, TWC helped to inspire the concepts and philosophy of Maggie's as we set up our first centre in the UK. Both organisations provide similar programmes including support groups, stress management and other courses and educational workshops for people living with, through and after cancer.

The Wellness Community is an international, non-profit organisation that provides support, education and hope to people with cancer and those who care for them. By offering free professionally-led support groups, educational workshops, nutrition and exercise programmes, and stress-reduction classes, The Wellness Community helps individuals affected by cancer learn vital skills that enable them to regain control, reduce isolation and enhance quality of life. The Wellness Community also collaborates with academic and medicinal partners to conduct evidence-based research and provide training in the field of psychosocial oncology with the goal of improving outcomes and quality of life for cancer patients, cancer survivors, and the individuals who care for them. The Wellness Community assists people affected by cancer at over 100 locations worldwide including 24 US based and two international centres with 73 satellite and off-site programs and online at www.thewellnesscommunity.org.

Maggie's shares a number of long-term objectives with TWC and are currently in partnership in delivering the ‘Frankly Speaking’ workshops, which give people the opportunity to learn more about the management of side effects of their cancer treatment.
