Maggie's Centres http://www.maggiescentres.org/maggies/maggiescentres/home/about/introduction.html provide places where people affected by cancer can call in and get support. "Maggie's offers information, psychological and emotional support and practical advice." This centre http://www.maggiescentres.org/maggies/maggiescentres/home/centres/london/introduction.html opened in April 2008 was designed by Richard Rogers. It was open to the public in June 2008 as part of Open Garden Squares week-end. Although it looks from outside that it would be dark inside as there are no windows in the ground floor wall, it is very light because there is light through the roof, it is very open inside, and the orange wall only goes a short distance up the first floor.
