The Christie is the largest single site cancer centre in Europe and we treat more than 60,000 patients a year. We are the first specialist trust in the country to be given the CQC highest accolade of outstanding twice and have been ranked as the most technologically advanced cancer centre outside of North America. The Christie has been at the forefront of over 100 years of pioneering cancer research breakthroughs which Im sure youll agree is impressive.

The Christie charity has a history of over 100 years supporting The Christie hospital, in fact The Christie Hospital was born from charitable donations. We exist to provide enhanced services over and above what the NHS funds.

Gifts from our supporters really do make a huge difference to the care and treatment that The Christie is able to provide to patients and families. Thanks to funds raised we provide life-saving research, the latest high-tech equipment and support services that help us make cancer treatments more effective and a little easier for our patients.

We simply could not achieve everything we do at The Christie without the help of our supporters. We are never complacent with our achievements, and we always have plans in the pipeline to further improve our services.

Donations as a result of this event will make a huge difference to cancer patients and their families - thank you so much for your support!
