At Liverpool Cancer Therapy Centre, we are proud to partner with Dry July to support our integrated oncology programs at Liverpool Hospital CTC. These play a crucial role in providing holistic care to cancer patients by combining conventional medical treatments with complementary therapies such as nutrition counselling, psychological support, exercise program, and complementary medicine options like acupuncture or massage therapy.
Last year, thanks to the generosity of supporters like you, Dry July funds were instrumental in enhancing these integrated oncology programs. We were able to expand our reach, improving existing services, and develop new initiatives to better meet the diverse needs of our patients.
By participating in Dry July and contributing, you can help us continue this important work. Your support will enable us to provide comprehensive and personalised care to even more individuals facing the challenges of cancer.
Together, we can offer hope, comfort, and practical assistance to those navigating their cancer journey, ensuring that no one faces this battle alone.
Join us in making a difference today. Your generosity has the power to transform lives and create a brighter future for cancer patients and their loved ones.
Thank you for your consideration and support.

Free to Air TV's for the Palliative Care Ward at Liverpool Hospital |
Thanks to funds raised through Dry July 2019, Liverpool Hospital will be able to purchase and install 20 Free to Air TV's for the Palliative Care Ward.
Providing free TV and entertainment to patients that are in hospital for long periods of time will assist distracting patients from their illness. Patients that stay for long periods of time on the ward can be financially impacted, with loved ones spending the last days, weeks or months with palliative patients, also not working have not been able to afford the high cost of pay TV. This will relieve the financial impact.
Currently, patients in palliative care have to pay a daily rate for access to free-to-air TV.
