Maggie's Aberdeen

Our Kid’s Day at Maggie’s Aberdeen is for children aged 5-12 years old whose parents, grandparents and/or loved ones have a cancer diagnosis. The day aims to help families talk more confidently about cancer, share feelings about cancer with their family at home, and help children become more knowledgeable about cancer, the hospital and cancer treatment. It will be held in the centre which provides a relaxed space for children to have fun and share any worries or questions they might have about cancer. Lunch will be provided. If you are interested in our Kid’s Day, please get in touch by dropping into the centre, calling us on 01224 645 928 or emailing aberdeen@maggies.org🧡
