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.
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.
By pledging to do a sponsored parachute jump you can raise money for Maggie's Centres Oxford and have the experience of a lifetime. Jumping from a perfectly serviceable aeroplane takes a good deal of courage. Just ask your friends, family and work colleagues how much they are prepared to pay not to jump out of an aircraft, and put that money to the cause.
