“I wanted to put something back to the organisation that quite literally saved my life... Membership gives us an opportunity to offer a ‘patient's eye view’."

“As a member, I feel that I am involved in the development of The Christie. It is always looking to the future and how to improve the experience and treatment of patients."

“I enjoy being a member of The Christie as I feel it gives me an opportunity to help others and I would encourage anyone thinking of joining to do it as it is very rewarding.”

“I find being a member of The Christie very satisfying especially with the support provided and the opportunities offered to learn about and contribute to the work of the Trust."

"Over the years, I have seen many developments and met different members of staff, all of whom are dedicated to improving patient care and cancer outcomes - I feel privileged to be a part of this process."

“To anyone who may be thinking of becoming a member, go for it! It’s a serious business, but you’ll make new friends and have fun, too; and you’ll learn more about people, patience, tolerance and resilience than you ever will from a text book."
