Maggie’s appoints charity ambassador

Cancer support charity Maggie’s has appointed Dr Sian Williams as an ambassador as it marks 30 years of supporting people with cancer.

Dr Williams, a broadcaster, author and counselling psychologist, has been involved with the charity for a decade, including delivering support groups and one-to-one therapy during her clinical training.

She has also supported fundraising and awareness campaigns, drawing on both her professional expertise and personal experience of cancer.

Dr Williams said: “I am delighted to be asked to become an ambassador for Maggie’s. 

“I know how brilliantly and compassionately they deliver expert and holistic care to those going through cancer and their family and friends.

“I’ve worked at Maggie’s and had a cancer experience too, so I know what an enormous difference that support can make. 

“I am looking forward to working even more closely with the charity to make sure they can reach as many people as possible at what is potentially the hardest time of their lives.”

Her appointment strengthens Maggie’s ambassador network as the charity continues to provide emotional and practical support to people affected by cancer across the UK.

Dame Laura Lee DBE, chief executive of Maggie’s, added: “We are so pleased to announce Dr Sian as an ambassador for Maggie’s. 

“As a psychologist and someone with lived experience of cancer, I know she truly understands our support and the needs of our centre visitors.

“We are marking 30 years of transformative cancer care this year and are more committed than ever to making sure everyone with cancer, and their family and friends, has access to our free expert, practical, emotional and psychological support. 

“It’s wonderful to welcome Dr Sian to the Maggie’s family during our 30th year.”
