Katrina Bury joined the Charity in 2016 and led the hugely successful New Hospital Appeal, which raised £12M to help build the 11-storey flagship hospital, Clatterbridge Cancer Centre – Liverpool, which opened in June 2020.
She led the team through the challenging Covid-19 period and ensured fundraising for local people with cancer continued, against the incredibly difficult backdrop of lockdown.
Emerging from this period, the Charity went on to establish itself as a force for good in Cheshire and Merseyside, with landmark events such as the Glow Green Nightwalk and the annual ball, raising millions to support patients and fund research.
In 2023, Katrina led on establishing a wholly independent Clatterbridge Cancer Charity with a new board of trustees.
In 2025/26 the Charity raised £4 million to fulfil its mission of investing in leading technology, funding life saving research, enhancing the patient environment and enabling innovations in care.
Katrina said: “It has been a privilege to play a part in improving the excellent treatment provided at The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre over the last ten years.
“I am so proud of the team and all that we have achieved, and I am confident the Charity will continue to make a difference to patients in Cheshire and Merseyside.”
Chair of the Board of Trustees Brian Barwick OBE said: “I would like to thank Katrina for her hard work and dedication and pay tribute to her leadership of this great charity over ten years.
“What she has achieved to help local people with cancer has been remarkable and she leaves the Charity in great shape to continue that work.”
Katrina will be replaced as CEO by Clare White who takes up her new role in September.
