Maggie's Oxford
Maggie’s Oxford took over an existing cancer support service at the Churchill Hospital and from this base we are bringing Maggie’s programme to anyone affected by a cancer diagnosis in the area.
We are open Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 4pm for information, psychological and emotional support. We have a resident psychologist and a team of cancer support specialists on hand for drop-in and pre-booked appointments and courses.
Oxford Radcliffe Hospitals NHS Trust is shortly to get a new Cancer Caring Centre at the Churchill Hospital and a site has been marked out for a new Maggie’s Centre beside this state-of-the-art facility. |

NSPCC
In total nearly 32,000 children in the UK are known to be at risk of some kind of abuse right now. Violence, neglect, sexual abuse and bullying are all too familiar and ruin thousands of children's lives. The emotional and psychological scars can remain into adulthood. Sadly these children and young people can feel extremely isolated. Many of them have no-one to talk to – often leading to stress, depression, and, in extreme cases, suicide. Last year, half a million children called ChildLine. You can help the children that need it most. |
