Macclesfield Project Review

Looking to the future and how you can help

The Christie charity will continue to support the new cancer centre at Macclesfield by funding supportive services offered to patients, relatives and staff.

It’s exciting to see the completion of our new cancer centre but there’s still more we can do to support cancer patients as they go through their treatment. The Christie charity provides enhanced services over and above what the NHS funds. At Macclesfield this will include complementary therapy, refreshments for patients and other supportive services. A wide range of different therapies including massage, acupuncture, hypnotherapy and aromatherapy will be provided free of charge, as they are at the main Withington site.

Going through cancer treatment can be a traumatic experience and also physically challenging for many patients. However, our complementary health & well-being service will be there to help patients cope with difficult medical procedures, to reduce symptoms of cancer and side effects of treatment and to help patients and carers cope with the stress and anxiety of living with cancer. Please help us to continue to support cancer patients at The Christie at Macclesfield.
