Maggie's Forth Valley centre still providing support

The centre in the grounds of Forth Valley Royal Hospital at Larbert is not open during the Covid-19 pandemic but is still giving support by phone, email and through its online community to cancer patients, as well as their family and friends.

Yvonne McIntosh, Maggie’s Forth Valley centre head, said: “ “We understand how the current situation increases stress and anxiety levels for people undergoing treatment, as well as family and friends, but we are here with them offering practical and emotional support to help them cope with the challenging times ahead.

“We have been supporting people with cancer for 25 years and our professional staff are here with you now.”

Since Maggie’s opened their first centre in 1996, the charity has developed a programme of support that is proven to help people with cancer and their loved ones take back control.

Maggie’s Forth Valley relies almost entirely on voluntary donations to be able to offer this high quality, professional support. If you would like to make a donation please visit https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/maggie-s-forth-valley
