“We all need support, not only treatment, but support as a whole family and it would be a wonderful facility here in Leeds. It thrills me to know we will have it here on our doorstep.”

Maggie’s Yorkshire, a £6.5m centre for cancer patients and their families, is currently being built in the grounds of St James’s University Hospital in Leeds to complement the clinical care given.

The team there will provide psychological support and focus on emotional wellbeing through activities such as yoga, nutrition, gardening and art as well as offering benefits and legal advice.
