• Raise a ton for Maggie's London

  In the first few months since Maggie’s London has opened its doors, we are asking local people to raise £100 to support the new centre.

  We need to raise £250,000 every year to provide free practical, emotional and psychological support to people in London living with cancer and we would really appreciate your support with this.
  
  Here are some examples of how your £100 could be spent:
  
  •    We estimate that it costs £24 per visit to Maggie’s, so your £100 would go towards helping 4 people in your local area
  •    Massage oils and tables for our Complementary Therapies Team
  •    25 Cancerbackup booklets for our library

• Raise a ton for Maggie's London: Fundraising Ideas
