Clatterbridge Cancer Charity is the dedicated charity for The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, supporting cancer patients and their families across Cheshire, Merseyside and beyond.
With 1 in 2 people in our region affected by cancer at some point in their lives, we raise vital funds to go further than NHS funding can reach, investing in pioneering research, the latest medical equipment, and improvements to the spaces where patients receive their care.
In 2024, Andrea Perrot was diagnosed with breast cancer. By 2025, she had been successfully treated, and she’s spent every day since embracing her second chance at life.
For Andrea, that second chance came with a new kind of energy, one she wanted to put towards helping others facing the same journey she had. At the start of 2026, she signed up for our Glow Green Night Walk, and discovered something along the way: fundraising gave her a buzz she wasn’t expecting.
So she kept going. Later that year, Andrea joined a group trekking to the summit of Mount Toubkal, the highest peak in North Africa, raising sponsorship for Clatterbridge Cancer Charity every step of the way.
This year, Andrea decided to do things differently. Rather than ask her supporters for sponsorship again, she wanted to create something new, something people could come together and enjoy while still making a real difference.
The result is Day Rave for Clatterbridge, a day of house music, unity and good vibes at Banff nightclub in Southport on Saturday 26th September, running from 3pm to 9pm. Andrea has been able to make sure that 100% of every ticket price goes directly to Clatterbridge Cancer Charity.
Why it matters
Andrea’s story is a reminder that fundraising doesn’t have to follow a set path. It can start with a walk, grow into a trek, and turn into a full day event, shaped entirely around what you enjoy and who you can bring together.
Every fundraiser like Andrea’s helps fund life-saving research and incredible care at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, for patients across Cheshire, Merseyside and beyond.

The Clatterbridge Fairy was specially created by our Charity Patron, internationally acclaimed sculptor, Emma Rodgers.
We asked Emma to share why she's supporting our Fairy Appeal:
"I have been a Patron of Clatterbridge Cancer Charity for 14 years now, as my mum is cared for there. They are incredible with her and getting the 'all clear' was a wonderful moment. They've done more for me than I can ever do for them, so creating the Fairy seems a small thing, really.
And this year I will be dedicating my Fairy to Professor Myint and the Team at Clatterbridge love from Emma, Milly, Annie and family."
