True North Construction has announced Maggie's Newcastle, a charity providing free practical, emotional and social support to people living with cancer, as its charity of the year for 2026.
The partnership builds on a successful relationship established in 2025 and reflects the company’s commitment to supporting people affected by cancer and the vital services the charity provides in the North East.
Founded in 2019, True North Construction has earned a strong reputation for delivering bespoke residential builds, high-end refurbishments and certified Passivhaus homes.
Its focus on quality, sustainability and attention to detail has helped the company expand into new commercial sectors, including hospitality, healthcare, education and workplace fitouts. Partnering with Maggie’s reinforces the company’s dedication to making a positive impact in the wider community alongside its professional achievements.
David Roberts, managing director, True North Construction, said: “We are proud to continue our partnership with Maggie’s in 2026. Last year, our team was inspired by the incredible work the charity does to support people living with cancer. This year, we are building on that commitment through volunteering, fundraising and supporting community projects. Supporting Maggie’s isn’t just about giving back-it’s about helping people find connection, calm and reassurance during some of the most challenging moments of their lives.”
Karen Verrill, centre head, Maggie’s Newcastle, said: “Cancer affects so many people across our region, and we’re delighted with the continued support from True North Construction. We couldn’t provide the emotional, practical and psychological support to people living with cancer and those that love them, without the generosity of individuals and businesses like True North Construction.
The funds and awareness raised throughout the year will make a real difference to our centre and those that need us. We’re very grateful for the company’s ongoing commitment and partnership.”
In 2025, True North Construction colleagues actively supported Maggie’s through volunteering and fundraising initiatives. In September, team members volunteered at Maggie’s Centre at the Freeman Hospital, Newcastle, assisting with the installation of Corten steel planters in the centre’s tranquil garden.
Designed to offer calm and reflective spaces, the garden features carefully arranged seating, forming small alcoves for peaceful contemplation. Open to both centre users and the public, it provides a quiet retreat from the surrounding hospital environment.
Fundraising also formed a key part of the partnership. Maggie’s benefited from True North Construction’s annual charity golf day, which brought together construction companies from across the region and raised £3,500 to help sustain the charity’s ongoing work.
The funds were used to support Maggie’s Newcastle centre and essential services, enabling more people affected by cancer to access the help they need.
