There are very few of us who have not been touched by this devastating illness in one way or another. In Grampian alone over 3,000 people are diagnosed with cancer each year, but Aberdeen is the only NHS cancer site in Scotland without a Maggie’s Centre.

To make the new centre a reality, the Monty’s Maggie’s charity needs to raise £3m and is currently one third of the way towards reaching its goal.

Throughout the coming year we will actively support the appeal by completing a number of fundraising initiatives to raise a minimum target of £100,000. There are a number of ways we are asking our staff to get involved:

  • Become a fundraising committee member
  • Submit a fundraising idea
  • Coordinate an event
  • Support a Maggie's event
  • Act as a communications champion for the campaign
  • Make a pledge to donate
We recognise the vital importance of a Maggie’s Centre in Aberdeen and we are delighted to provide support to this very worthwhile appeal
