Every month we reward someone’s efforts with a You Made A Difference award. See the latest members of staff, teams or volunteers who we've recognised for going above and beyond in their work at The Christie.
You Made a Difference Award winners

Aanu Majaro, receptionist“She greeted me by my first name – to me, that made a big difference. I was a person, not just a patient undergoing radiotherapy.”
Guy Macfarlane, anaesthetic and recovery theatre practitioner“[Guy] is an asset to The Christie and even if he does not win this award, he has made a lifelong impact to myself at the worst possible time in my life and I hope he knows this.”
Susan Corr, domestic assitant"Thank you for your professionalism, and the pride you take in your work. The NHS is stronger because of people like you."
