About the centre

On Friday 3 November 2006 Prime Minister Gordon Brown, Member of Parliament for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath, opened the doors of Maggie’s Fife to the public in his former capacity as  Chancellor of the Exchequer.  At his side were his wife and our Patron, Sarah Brown; Zaha Hadid, Pritzker Prize-winning architect who designed the centre; and Marilyn Livingstone, MSP for Kirkcaldy.

The centre is Zaha Hadid’s first built work in the UK. Her design is a response to a brief set by Maggie’s to create a relaxed atmosphere where people can access additional support outside of the more clinical hospital environment.

Maggie's Fife has been built thanks to the generosity of the people of Fife who have raised over £500,000 to help build this dedicated cancer support centre. The Fife Free Press have spearheaded the campaign and the response from the public has been overwhelming. Maggie’s would like to take this opportunity to say a huge thank you to all who have supported the centre's work to date.
