The Christie Charity only exists because of the fantastic support from all our amazing fundraisers. We really value everything that our supporters do for us whether its raising funds or giving up your time to volunteer for us. In return we promise to ensure that we are spending your donations as cost effectively as possible to benefit as many of our patients as possible.
How we work with our supporters
We promise to earn your trust, to value every contribution you make, and to show you the meaningful difference your support makes to the lives of people with cancer.

- We will communicate respectfully, appropriately and transparently with you
- We will recognise and appreciate your contribution, in whatever form it takes
- We will show you the real impact of your support through authentic stories from people affected by cancer
- We will help you feel connected to our cause, part of our community and inspired by the difference you make

How we manage donations and fundraising
For every £1 given, 83p is spent on our patients focusing on four main areas:
- Care and treatment
- Research
- Education
- Extra patient services
We work hard to make sure that the money donated to us is spent where the hospital need it most and we produce a separate Impact Report which gives more detail about how the charitable income is spent and the difference it has made to our patients and their families. You can read more on our impact reports pages.
Throughout the year, our army of amazing supporters raise vital funds in support of our patients and their families. Join us as we celebrate our fundraisers' achievements and learn about the stories behind the people who support The Christie.
You can also see some more of our fabulous supporters in our fundraiser hall of fame archive.

“For us, this is only the beginning. Our commitment to The Christie is lifelong, fuelled by personal stories, shared experiences, and the belief that no one should face cancer alone.”
Peter Day, Christie fundraiser
“I started fundraising for The Christie Charity to pay something back and to help others in the future! I realised how many people were in my position, the waiting rooms full. I have nothing but respect for the staff who work tirelessly looking after patients with empathy.”
