Supporting Maggie’s: A Charity That Makes a Real Difference
We believe in giving back to the community and the Ebbon Group, Ebbon Automotive and Ebbon Intelligence teams, who are all based at the Oxford office, came together to vote for a charity close to many of our hearts. The overwhelming choice was Maggie’s, a cancer support charity that offers free help to anyone affected by cancer.
About Maggie’s
Maggie’s provides practical, emotional, and psychological support to people with cancer, as well as their families and friends. Their centres are calm, welcoming spaces located alongside major NHS cancer hospitals, including the Oxford centre at Churchill Hospital.
Here, visitors can talk to expert cancer support specialists, psychologists, and benefits advisors — all without an appointment. Whether someone is newly diagnosed, in treatment, or supporting a loved one, Maggie’s offers tailored support to help people feel less alone and more in control.
Why Their Work Matters
A cancer diagnosis brings uncertainty, fear, and countless practical challenges. Maggie’s exists to ease that burden. They support people with:
- Expert advice on treatment and managing side effects
- Help with money worries, including navigating benefits and claiming entitlements
- Emotional support, through one-to-one sessions and support groups
- Workshops to manage stress, build resilience, and stay mentally well
- Guidance for families and carers, helping them cope and communicate
The difference Maggie’s makes is deeply personal and profoundly impactful. They provide not just information but hope and community during life’s most difficult times.
