Since 2013 we have worked with Maggie’s providing Principal Designer Services on all UK based Maggie’s Centres.

How Maggie’s Centres started is the legacy of Maggie Keswick Jencks (1941-1995) who wanted to empower cancer patients and their families with knowledge to understand treatment without being overwhelmed, calming lifestyle capabilities and psychological support strategies and to be in comfortable surroundings – home-from-home.  Being a small part of Maggie Jencks’ and her family’s legacy is a privilege and we look forward to helping realise projects currently on the drawing board, and those not even imagined yet.
