We are delighted to announce our collaboration with Maggie’s Centres. 

This collaborative partnership will enable us to further develop our NET Natter Support Groups. Currently 7 of our support groups meet at Maggie’s Centres, moving forwards we are working to ensure each centre has a NET Natter Support Group and holds copies of all of our information resources.

We are also working with Maggie’s Head of Centre Operations in regards to a staff information and education programme about Neuroendocrine Cancer.

Maggie’s Centres provide free practical, emotional and social support to people with cancer and their family and friends: somewhere to find practical advice about benefits and eating well; places where qualified experts provide emotional support; places to meet other people; places where you can simply sit quietly with a cup of tea.

Built in the grounds of NHS cancer hospitals, Maggie’s Centres are places with professional staff on hand to offer the support people need:

The centres are warm, friendly, inspiring places, which are full of light and they undoubtedly contribute to the continued wellbeing of an individual as they progress through life with cancer.
