Our Partnership with Maggie's Cancer Care Centres
As well as the construction of many of its architecturally significant centres, we’ve committed to raising £1,000,000 for the charity over ten years.
It’s more than a decade since we started working with the charity Maggie’s, which provides practical, emotional, and social support to anyone with cancer and their friends and family.
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.
Every Maggie’s centre is unique and fits perfectly into its surroundings. Each centre is thoughtfully designed to be calming and welcoming; a place to escape from the clinical environment of our modern day hospitals.
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.

Maggie's Story
Our construction projects
Each designed by a world-renowned architect, Maggie’s centres are some of the most distinctive buildings in Britain. As such they are often incredibly challenging to construct. It was this complexity that led to our initial involvement with the charity, at the award-winning, Kisho-Kurokawa-designed Maggie’s Centre at Singleton Hospital, Swansea.
Since Swansea, we have been involved in a number of the charity’s projects overseeing the construction management of Maggie’s at The Christie in Manchester, and centres at St Bartholomew’s Hospital in London, the Royal Marsden, St James’s Teaching Hospital in Leeds, and Southampton General Hospital, as well as the delivery of an interim centre at Clatterbridge in Liverpool.
