On this episode, we're joined by Dame Laura Lee, at her office near Maggie’s West London.

Laura has been at Maggie's for 28 years as CEO and she became a Dame 5 years ago. She has been recognised for her work ensuring people living with cancer have the emotional support they need alongside their medical care.

Since the first Maggie’s centre opened in 1996 in Edinburgh, under Laura’s guidance, Maggie’s has grown at an incredible rate, despite relying almost entirely on voluntary donations. There are now 24 centres across the UK, with 2 more opening next year, as well as centres in Hong Kong, Tokyo and Barcelona.
