Maggie's Merseyside at Clatterbridge wins the Architects' Journal Small Projects Award

MAGGIE'S Merseyside at Clatterbridge, the charity which provides free practical, emotional and social support for people with cancer and their family and friends, has won the Architects' Journal Small Projects Award.

Built in the grounds of The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, Maggie's Merseyside at Clatterbridge was designed by architects Carmody Groarke and has been supporting people with cancer since June 2014.

Great design and architecture is vital to the care Maggie's offers and the Centre was designed to create a calm and uplifting environment as well as providing a programme of support to strengthen the physical and emotional wellbeing of people with cancer.

The design of the Centre incorporates seven portable buildings, 6 of which have been used previously as building site accommodation with the seventh being the 'London Dresser' commissioned by the Mayor of London for the London 2012 Olympics celebrations. The 11 metre long glass panelled side of the 'London Dresser' has allowed Maggie's Merseyside at Clatterbridge to showcase a panoramic view over the farming fields of the Wirral landscape which helps to create the calm and uplifting environment within the Centre, so important to visitors and staff alike.

Kathy Wright, Centre Head, at Maggie's Merseyside at Clatterbridge said:- "We're absolutely delighted to have won the Architects' Journal Small Projects Award especially as design and architecture is so important to the support we offer at the Centre. The warm and welcoming environment makes a huge difference to those who visit the Centre."

Now in its 20th year the Architects' Journal Small Projects Awards celebrate the best schemes built with a budget of £250,000 or less.

Maggie's Merseyside at Clatterbridge relies on voluntary donations to support and grow its network of Centres and to develop its unique, high quality programme of support. The charity's aim is to make the biggest difference possible to people living with cancer and their family and friends.
