Maggie's Oxford

Welcome to Maggie's Oxford

Have you heard about Love Maggie's Day?

Maggie’s Oxford took over an existing cancer support service at the Churchill Hospital and from this base we are bringing Maggie’s programme to anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis in the area.  

We are open Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 4pm for information, psychological and emotional support. We have a resident psychologist and a team of cancer support specialists on hand for drop-in and pre-booked appointments and courses.

Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust is shortly to get a new Cancer Caring Centre at the Churchill Hospital and a site has been marked out for a new Maggie’s Centre beside this state-of-the-art facility.  We are fortunate to have designs drawn up for an inspirational building by the acclaimed architects Wilkinson Eyre.

We have welcomed two new members of staff to Maggie’s Oxford: Kerry Davies, welfare and benefits advisor, who has come as a result of a partnership between Macmillan, the CAB and Maggie’s, and Sandy Briscoe, our new Community Fundraiser, who is busy raising awareness and money for the campaign to build Maggie’s Oxford.

Maggie’s Oxford forms part of the Joy of Living campaign: we are working towards raising £3 million for this Centre which will be built at the Churchill Hospital, Oxford.

To get a purpose-built Maggie’s for Oxford, we need to raise £3 million.  We need your support to build Maggie’s Oxford and to have it open, free of charge, for anyone who needs it.

More than a million people are served by the Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust and its cancer services, and there are 4,000 new diagnosis of cancers here a year.  We want anyone affected by cancer to have this unique, uplifting Maggie’s Centre, and in the meantime to know all that we are already open to welcome people to the temporary Centre where we offer our well-established and pioneering programme of cancer support.

To contact our community fundraiser for Maggie's Oxford email Sandy on sandy@maggiescentres.org
