The Christie charity Impact Report 2021-22

Vital services closer to home In December 2021 we were delighted to open The Christie at Macclesfield. The charity has released £23 million over the last three years to this amazing facility which has brought Christie cancer care closer to home for patients in Cheshire, High Peak and North Staffordshire. The £26 million development is equipped with state-of-the-art radiotherapy treatment machines, a CT scanner and 18 treatment chairs. It will provide 46,000 patient appointments and visits each year and is the third in a network of local Christie radiotherapy centres where patients can access Christie treatment closer to home. Quite simply, this centre is transforming cancer care for our patients, delivering local specialist access to chemotherapy, holistic support and information services, outpatient care, palliative care, counselling and complementary therapy and a wider range of clinical trials than at present.
