Maggie's North East

Maggie's North East forms part of the Joy of Living campaign: we are working towards raising £3 million for this Centre which will be built at the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle.

In 2006 Maggie’s Centres was approached by the St Camillus Charity in the Tyne Valley with a proposal that Maggie’s take on their work with the objective of developing a Maggie’s Centre for the North East of England.   

Maggie’s warmly welcomed this approach and we are now in the early stages of planning our fundraising campaign to make the centre a reality.

We have secured a site at the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle adjacent to the relocated Northern Centre for Cancer Treatment and appointed Foreign Office Architects, an exciting young firm of architects.
