Maggie’s Cancer Caring Centres are quietly extraordinary spaces, inspired by a belief in the healing powers of architecture. It was while suffering from advanced cancer that Maggie Keswick Jencks conceived the idea of a beautifully designed space offering support to those affected by the disease and, following her death in 1995, the first centre opened in Edinburgh in 1996.
