The Christie was first established in 1901 through generous donations and fundraising and is now one of Europe’s leading cancer centre’s, treating over 40,000 patients a year. We are also an international leader for research, with world first breakthroughs for over 100 years and has continued to support vital development for more than a century.

We are leading experts in cancer treatment, research and education because of our people.

The Christie has been pioneering cancer research breakthroughs for over 100 years and is the largest cancer centre in Europe. Treating more than 40,000 patients each year, we were the first UK centre to be officially accredited as a comprehensive cancer centre. Based in Manchester, with radiotherapy centres in Oldham and Salford, we are a national specialist treating 25% of patients from around the country.

Through the impassioned dedication of our 2,500 staff, 350 volunteers and 20,000 members and supporters, we remain committed to helping all those affected by cancer, both now and in the future. Our charity helps to pay for cancer research, new facilities, high-tech equipment and extra patient services – helping cancer patients both cope with and survive cancer. Our charity raises money to fund projects at The Christie which are outside the scope of the NHS. Last year we raised over £13 million.

We couldn't do this without the fantastic support of people, both across the North West and around the UK. Thank you for helping us to work towards a future without cancer.
