Key Metrics

Funds raised An incredible GBP 23.8m was raised this year thanks to the generosity of fundraisers, donors, volunteers and partners.
Donations reaching patients For every GBP 1 donated, 83p went directly towards supporting patients, while the remaining 17p helped raise the next pound.
Research investment pledge A commitment to invest GBP 30m in supporting The Christie NHS Foundation Trust's research ambitions by 2030.
New patient support roles New Charity-funded roles and initiatives support patients' emotional and mental wellbeing alongside clinical care, including therapy dog visits for children and young people receiving treatment.
Pioneering research enabled Charity funding supported specialist research posts and infrastructure, enabling The Christie to contribute to world-leading clinical trials including STAMPEDE, developing kinder, gentler cancer treatments with fewer side effects.

Key Outcomes

  • Young patients such as Adil Hafezji given opportunities to develop new skills and widen professional experience during cancer treatment.
  • Patients and families helped to feel more informed and less alone through the Charity-funded Cancer Information Centre.
