Our third Maggie’s Centre has broken ground and is on track to open in 2027.
Thanks to £5 million from the Foundation, Maggie’s Liverpool is now a big step closer to supporting people with cancer, as well as their family and friends, from across Merseyside.
The centre will be the second Maggie’s in Merseyside; Maggie’s Wirral, also funded by the Steve Morgan Foundation, opened in the grounds of Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Wirral in September 2021. We also funded the Maggie’s centre in North Wales which opened in September 2025. The new Liverpool centre is being built close to the new Royal Liverpool University Hospital and Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Liverpool.
The official groundbreaking event at the new site was attended by the Lord Mayor of Liverpool and High Sheriff of Merseyside.
All three Maggie’s Centres have been completely commissioned, designed and funded by the Foundation helping to bring free practical, psychological and emotional support to people with cancer from across the region.
Steve Morgan said:
“We are delighted to see the build phase of the new Maggie’s centre get underway – a step closer to bringing vital cancer support to the people of Liverpool.
This is our third Maggie’s centre in the region and a perfect example of the power of partnership and the difference it makes to our communities.”
Dame Laura Lee, Chief Executive of Maggie’s said:
“It is wonderful to start work on our centre in Liverpool today thanks to the ongoing generosity of the Steve Morgan Foundation and their commitment to commissioning, designing, building and funding three centres in the northwest of the UK.
“It is a truly phenomenal act of philanthropy which will ensure thousands of people will be supported.
“I am greatly looking forward to working closely once again with the Steve Morgan Foundation, and NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group and The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre’s Liverpool hospital to ensure the people of Merseyside living with cancer have the support they need at what is possibly the hardest time of their lives.”
