Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology

At Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology we have a vision to provide world class cancer care and by working together against cancer we aim to always exceed the expectations of our patients and their families.

‘Clatterbridge your cancer centre’ is the only charity that raises funds to directly benefit the hospital’s patients and families. Charitable funds play an important role in helping us to achieve our objectives because the additional income enables us to improve the care, treatment and facilities that we can offer to our patients. They also allow us to provide many of the “extras” over and above what the NHS would be expected to supply. By working together against cancer, we aim to always exceed the expectations of our patients and their families.

To get involved with ‘Clatterbridge your cancer centre’ please call the Fundraising Team on 0151 482 7948,

The Backup Trust

Today three people in the UK will have an accident leading to spinal cord injury.
As they come to terms with life in a wheelchair they will soon discover that this devastating injury leads not only to loss of muscle control and sensation, but also to the loss of bladder, bowel and sexual function. Many things they have taken for granted will become impossible and their lives will change forever.

It is unsurprising that the suicide rate for people with SCI is five times higher than the national average, 20 per cent of people leave NHS spinal centres clinically depressed and 32 per cent have clinical anxiety.

Spinal cord injury does not discriminate. Breaking your back or neck is frighteningly easy to do and can happen to anyone through a fall, road traffic accident, illness or sporting injury. Paralysis is permanent. There is no cure.

The Back-Up Trust is here to support people in their darkest hours and transforms lives after spinal cord injury. We provide wheelchair skills training, mentoring and rehabilitative activity courses which grow confidence and independence by challenging people and encouraging them to venture outside their comfort zone. Our aim is to show people that they can still realise their potential after a spinal cord injury.

World Child Cancer

No child should suffer
Cancer does not respect race, colour or religion. In children, we cannot blame it on something that could have been avoided; it just happens. The unfairness of survival rates is simply that of geography. If a child is born in one place, they have a higher chance of surviving cancer. Born in another place, they may not even be diagnosed before dying of the illness.

In developing countries 100,000 children die needlessly of cancer each year. World Child Cancer works with international organisations and medical professionals with the sole purpose of improving cancer diagnosis, increasing survival rates and reducing suffering through better palliative care.

Please support World Child Cancer. Even small sums of money can make a significant and lasting impact of the lives of these children. For fundraising packs or further information please call
