We’re three-quarters of the way there. Now we need your help to finish what we’ve started.
Donate to the Halton Appeal today.
Our major fundraising appeal to modernise cancer treatment facilities at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre’s Halton unit has raised an incredible £750,000 towards our £1 million target. With just £250,000 left to raise, we’re calling on our community to help us reach the finish line by October 2026.
The Halton unit plays a vital role in delivering cancer treatments like chemotherapy, immunotherapy and other targeted therapies to patients across Halton, Warrington and surrounding communities. It means people can receive life-saving treatment close to home, near their families and support networks.
But whilst the care provided is excellent, the facilities no longer reflect the high standard of treatment our patients deserve. It’s time to create an environment that matches the quality of care.
Your donations will fund a complete refurbishment that will:
- Increase capacity to meet growing demand for cancer services in our region.
- Provide comfortable treatment chairs and flexible bays allowing patients to choose whether to chat with others or enjoy greater privacy during treatment.
- Create a bright, modern treatment environment that patients and staff can be proud of for many years to come.
- Enable more complex and combination therapies to be delivered locally.
This isn’t just about making things look nicer. It’s about creating a space where people facing one of the most difficult experiences of their lives can feel safe, comfortable and cared for.
We launched the appeal with support from Wolves Assistant Coach Richard Marshall, the Mayor of Halton Cllr Martha Lloyd Jones, and the Warrington Wolves rugby league squad, led by head coach Sam Burgess. They visited the ward to meet patients and staff and see the plans first-hand.
Cllr Lloyd Jones, her Consort and husband Peter, and Deputy Mayor Cllr Pamela Wallace joined the Wolves players to show their backing for this crucial project.
The Mayor shared a deeply personal reason for her support:
“I lost my mum to cancer when I was a young girl. When she was being treated, my sister and I had to travel by two buses and a ferry to visit her in The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre in Wirral. Things have improved so much since then and it is so important for both patients and their families to have a facility like this locally. The plans for the refurbishment are great and will only improve what is already an excellent treatment centre with a lovely atmosphere.”
Patricia Barlow, from Stockton Heath, is currently receiving treatment at the Halton ward following a breast cancer diagnosis. She understands better than most why this appeal matters:
“This is a club I never wanted to be part of but the staff in Halton immediately made me feel safe and cared for. I would say to anyone getting treated here ‘you are in good hands’. This modernisation will enable the staff to care for patients in a better environment, and they will be able to treat more people closer to home. The local community needs this ward, and I would appeal to everyone to back this appeal.”
Cancer doesn’t wait, and neither can we. Demand for cancer services continues to rise across our region. More people need treatment, and they need it close to home.
We’ve already raised £750,000, which shows the incredible support this appeal has received. But we need that final push to get us over the line by October 2026 so work can begin.
very donation, no matter the size, brings us closer to creating the modern, welcoming environment our patients deserve.
