Celebrating International Women's Day!

This year, Studio Egret West are supporting the Maggie’s Centre charity. We will be participating in their annual Surrey ride fundraiser on 7th May, in support of their Royal Marsden Maggie’s Centre.

What are we doing?

The team will be riding a challenging 50-mile course through the Surrey Hills, which will start and finish at Box Hill School, with a refreshment stop at their Ab Rogers’ designed centre.

The charity provides an amazing support service for people and families suffering from cancer, which was set up by Maggie Jencks in 1996. She was a writer, gardener and designer, and when she was 47, Maggie was diagnosed with breast cancer. Following her poor experiences of cold hospital wards, she was driven to develop a 'better' place for people with cancer to go, outside of but nearby to the hospital.

Maggie and Charles designed the blueprint for the centres together, enlisting the help of some of their friends from the landscape and architectural world. Maggie’s Centres provide a warm and welcoming place where people can find sanctuary and calm away from the hospital rigmarole.

How can you donate?

Maggie’s have offered an immense amount of support to one of our colleagues and their family, and we would love for you to join us in raising as much money as possible for this wonderful charity.

Thank you in advance for all your generous donations, and we hope to see some of you supporting us on the day as we cycle up some rather steep hills!
