THE North-East's first Maggie's cancer support centre has opened.
Maggie's, in the grounds of the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle, is the 16th centre of its kind to open in the UK.
The ultra-modern building, designed by leading architect Ted Cullinan, was opened by the charity's patron, Sarah Brown, the wife of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, this week.
