Maghaberry has gone the extra mile to raise over £6000 for the Cancer Fund for Children. Half of the funds raised came from donations by prisoners. Relay teams of staff and prisoners ran a virtual #BelfastMarathon around the prison. Well done to everyone on an incredible achievement.

Maghaberry horticulture has donated plants to Cancer Fund for Children which raised £2,760.  Giving back to the community is central to rehabilitation, and the monies raised will provide support to young people with cancer, those who have a parent with cancer, and their families.
