Thanks to generous Christie Charity supporters, we’re able to help fund so many amazing projects at The Christie hospital. These include world-leading cancer care or pioneering research, or helping to pursue bold ambitions for the future, like building a new scanning centre.
But there are so many more ways your kindness helps to change cancer patients’ lives. For example, supporters like you helped us create and now tend to The Christie hospital garden. It’s a beautiful, peaceful retreat where patients and their families can spend precious time together.
You also help to fund our drop-in art classes, where patients can escape the worry of treatment for a short while.
That’s not all. Your support also provides free wig services that help patients retain their identity and dignity. And it makes complementary therapies like acupuncture available, and psychological support, that can bring light to the darkest of days.
Donate today to give towards support services at The Christie and help improve patient wellbeing.
