Who are Maggie's cancer charities?

Maggie's provides free practical, emotional, and social support to people with cancer and their families. Their centres are built in the grounds of NHS hospitals, offering a calm and welcoming environment away from the clinical setting. The charity's work has gained increased visibility following King Charles III's diagnosis, leading to a notable rise in men seeking their services.
