The Liverpool Triathlon Affiliated Charities:
Clatterbridge
‘Clatterbridge Your Cancer Centre’ raises funds for Clatterbridge Centre for Oncology, the leading cancer treatment facility for people in Merseyside, Cheshire and Lancashire. Every year more than 7,000 new patients are diagnosed with cancer and referred to our doctors for treatment.
Through our radiotherapy and chemotherapy services, together with supportive care from nursing and health professionals, we improve the lives of people affected by cancer and provide support for their families.
‘Clatterbridge your cancer centre’ is the only charity that raises funds to directly benefit the hospital’s patients and their families. The money we raise allows us to provide many of the ‘extras’ over and above what the NHS would be expected to supply, extras that make such an important difference to our patient’s experience.
The Back-Up Trust
Transforming lives after spinal cord injury.
Today three people in the UK will have an accident leading to spinal cord injury.
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 suicide rate for people with spinal cord injury 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.
World Child Cancer
Childhood cancer is curable yet 4 out of 5 children with cancer in developing countries die from the disease because of lack of specialist medical expertise and funding.
World Child Cancer is dedicated to helping some of the world’s poorest families by creating twinning partnerships between hospitals in the rich, developed world with the hospitals we help in the low and middle income countries. These partnerships transfer vital medical expertise and practical and emotional support to the health professionals, the children and their families. Financial support is also provided to pay for the overall care and treatment of the children.
