Funds raised this Dry July will help fund integrated oncology programs

About Us

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.

Latest Updates

Wellness Centre at Liverpool Hospital benefits from Dry July 2019 funding

Funding from Dry July Foundation in 2019 continues to support the Wellness Centre at Liverpool Hospital. 

The Wellness Centre Program aims to provide a supportive environment to empower cancer patients and their carers to maximise their wellness potential based on their individual capacity and their needs. They are designed to assist patients in achieving their best treatment outcome and to assist in their return to community based programs and primary care. These programs provide support, education and therapies to assist mind, body & soul.

The Wellness Centre aims to provide an informal and comfortable area for Cancer patients and their carers to access within Liverpool Hospital. Numerous support services can be accessed within the Wellness Centre. The Wellness Centre also serves as a drop in facility where patients can come and have a cup of tea, read one of our many books in the library, watch television or a DVD, or just sit back and relax in a calm and tranquil setting.

Wellness Programs offered at the centre include Tai Chi, Qigong, meditation, acupuncture, cooking, gardening, zumba, and exercise physiology. 

Creative Legacy Program features on TODAY!

Creative Legacy, the award winning arts and health project with Liverpool Hospitals’ Palliative Care service, continues to both evolve and delight. Thanks to grant funding from the 2018 Dry July Foundation, this year the program has trained 12 local professional artists in palliative care in the practice of legacy making with patients and families in palliative care. The program offers connection and joy through conversation and art making. The program was recently featured on channel 9's TODAY show and you can view here. 

This year saw 5 new artists on the ward as well as several returning artists from the previously funded 'Reflected Legacy' project. New artists on the ward this year needed to be local and to be able to adapt their own arts practice to the legacy making. The magic of this program, and it does feel like some kind of magic*, is when the legacy artists, nurses, doctors, allied staff, cleaners etc, work together with a patient and family, to provide the wholistic care that can be so meaningful and timely and full of human warmth.

You can read a full article introducing you to some of the new artists and the families that they have supported HERE.

Living Wall Art at Liverpool Cancer Treatment Centre

Dry July has provided funding to install light boxes that project scenic images whilst patients are receiving treatment. The patients lay in the “linacs” for up to 20 minutes daily over approximately 6 weeks. The scenic images gives the patient a nice environment to relax and view rather than feeling anxious with nothing to distract them from their treatment. Currently patients look at the white roof.

One patient said, "it’s beautiful, very colourful and fun. Where I was being treated, having these on the ceiling is great and a distraction". Other patients said it brightens up the hallway. The overall feedback from patients and their families/carers has been very positive. Many patients have mentioned how they enjoy seeing the large colourful light boxes and have mentioned that they find it very nice and comforting to have the colourful distraction during treatment.
