Our dedicated team of cancer support specialists, psychologists, and benefits advisors are here to offer guidance, comfort, and practical help when it’s needed most.

Volunteers are at the heart of what we do, helping us provide life-changing support. That’s why we’re partnering with Scotmid stores across Glasgow and Lanarkshire to host bucket collections—a simple yet powerful way to raise vital funds and spread awareness of Maggie’s.

What You’ll Be Doing
