“We have teamed up with some top establishments to create the Maggie’s Staycation Raffle and we are delighted that Smith Anderson has once again agreed to support us by match funding this initiative up to £4k.

“We are truly grateful for their ongoing backing.”

The key summer fundraiser will help support Maggie’s work with people living with a cancer diagnosis.

It relies almost entirely on donations to operate, and is helping more people than ever.

Added Adam: “Fundraising remains extremely challenging, so our hope is that with the raffle we have found an exciting and accessible way for people to support Maggie’s and all those who use the centre.
