Our partnership with Maggie's
As well as the construction of many of its architecturally significant centres, we’ve raised £1m for Maggie's in just six years.
For over a decade, we've been dedicated to supporting Maggie’s, a renowned cancer charity providing vital practical, emotional, and social assistance to individuals and their loved ones facing cancer.
As well as the construction of many of its architecturally significant centres, we’ve committed to raising £1,000,000 over ten years for the charity. Six years into that commitment, and we have already reached this milestone with our current fundraising total adding up to over £1million following our #MillionForMaggies campaign in Spring 2022.
Each Maggie’s centre boasts a unique design that seamlessly integrates with its surroundings, offering a tranquil and inviting sanctuary away from the clinical atmosphere of traditional hospital settings.
The blueprint for Maggie’s Centres was established by Maggie Keswick Jencks who, along with her husband Charles, understood the restorative impact inspirational environment and design can have. That same healing architectural philosophy continues to be reflected within its centres; from the kitchen table at their heart, to the peaceful corners, and the many opportunities to connect with nature.

Our fundraising efforts
We’ve now set ourselves a new goal of funding 100,000 hours of support for Maggie’s centre visitors, which also equates to £1m in cash.
To help track our progress, we're building a virtual Maggie’s in the shape of the charity's logo.
Our virtual Maggie's is made up of bricks representing the number of hours of support our collective fundraising efforts would pay for.
Every fundraising activity goes towards adding another brick into the virtual Maggie's Centre. Think of it as a totaliser in virtual bricks.
Maggie's Story
Our construction projects
Explore our portfolio of healthcare projects nestled within the grounds of NHS hospitals. Each of these projects is a testament to the collaboration between world-renowned architects and our construction expertise.
Our journey with Maggie's Centres began at the award-winning Singleton Hospital in Swansea, designed by Kisho Kurokawa. Since then, we've taken on the challenge of constructing several other Maggie's Centres, including those at The Christie in Manchester, St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, the Royal Marsden, St James’s Teaching Hospital in Leeds, Southampton General Hospital and most recently, The Royal Free Hospital.
