Maggie’s has offered support to people with cancer for more than 30 years in centres across the UK, where staff provide services to help people with stress, fear and anxiety as well as money worries and questions about treatment.
The Liverpool centre will be located at the junction of Daulby Street and Prescot Street and is due to open in 2027.
It will be the second on Merseyside after Maggie’s Wirral opened in 2021.
Steve Morgan, founder of the Steve Morgan Foundation, said the centre would help “bring vital cancer support to the people of Liverpool” and ensure they had easy access to “the warm, welcoming and free expert support that a Maggie’s centre provides”.
James Sumner, chief executive of NHS University Hospitals of Liverpool Group, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming Maggie’s as the first new partner onto the site of the old Royal.
“The services they offer to support people with cancer will be hugely beneficial to the people of Liverpool.”
