Maggie’s Yorkshire, a £6.5m centre for cancer patients and their families, is currently being built in the grounds of St James’s University Hospital in Leeds to complement the clinical care given.
The team there will provide psychological support and focus on emotional wellbeing through activities such as yoga, nutrition, gardening and art as well as offering benefits and legal advice.
