Step off the edge. Make every metre count.

On Sunday 7th June 2026, you’ll pull on your harness, look out over Liverpool, and take a deep breath. Then you’ll do something most people only imagine.

Every pound you raise goes directly towards life-changing cancer care, pioneering research, and vital patient support across our three hospitals. The Clatterbridge Cancer Centre is one of the UK’s leading specialist cancer centres, and your fundraising helps us keep it that way.

Whether you’re looking for a personal challenge, honouring someone you love, or simply want to try something unforgettable, this is your moment. Places are limited, so don’t wait!

WHY YOUR SUPPORT MATTERS

One in two of us will be affected by cancer at some point in our lives. At Clatterbridge Cancer Charity, we fund the treatments, therapies, research and innovations that make a real difference to patients and their families across Merseyside, Cheshire, the Isle of Man and beyond. When you abseil down the side of the Clatterbridge Cancer Centre, you’re not just facing your fears. You’re helping to fund the care that patients rely on every single day. From cutting-edge treatments to the small things that make a hospital feel a little less daunting, your fundraising touches every part of what we do.

Emma Rodgers

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."
