Charity corner

The Christie Charity 30 by 30 pledge The Christie Charity plays a vital role in

supporting The Christie by providing enhanced services over and above what the NHS funds. From pioneering cancer research, care and treatment to extra patient services that help make cancer treatment a little easier, the hospital would not be the world leading centre it is without this support.

Research has always been central to the work of The Christie and will continue to be a focus for charity funding in the future. We are committed to supporting the Trust’s research division with its vision of ‘Learning from every patient,’ ‘Enabling every patient to participate in research’ and ‘Applying this knowledge to improve the lives of patients with cancer now and in the future.’ Studies have shown that cancer patients treated at research-intensive hospitals have better outcomes than those treated in hospitals with little or no research activity. We support the development and provision of trials allowing more patients than ever to benefit from them. The staff we fund work in a collaborative environment with numerous organisations on a regional, national, and international level including The University of Manchester, Cancer Research UK, National Institute for Health and Care Research, Greater Manchester Cancer, and Manchester Cancer Research Centre. These partnerships ensure The Christie remains at the forefront of world-leading cancer research strategies and accelerates research breakthroughs.
