QUEST Trust proudly marked National Storytelling Week with a Trust wide celebration of reading, reflection, and togetherness through a special Drop and Read event on Thursday 5th February at 11am.
We are pleased to share that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust has published its 2024/25 Impact Report, highlighting another year of remarkable achievements, pioneering research, and exceptional patient care. The full report is now available to read here.

Each year, the Impact Report provides an opportunity to reflect on key areas of progress made possible through charitable support. It showcases stories and developments from across The Christie, emphasising how fundraisers, donors, and volunteers play a vital role in helping the hospital deliver world-class treatment, cutting-edge research, and compassionate support for patients, families, and carers.
We are proud to share that QUEST Trust has been officially recognised in this year’s report, with our name featured on page 30. This acknowledgement reflects our ongoing commitment to supporting organisations and initiatives that make a meaningful difference in the lives of young people and the wider community.
The Christie has also confirmed that an update regarding our donor coin on their supporter wall will be shared with us soon, and we look forward to providing further news when it becomes available.
We would like to express our appreciation to The Christie for their continued partnership and for the incredible work they do every day. Their dedication is truly transformative for so many patients and families across the region.
