You Made a Difference Award

We love to celebrate the positive effect our staff and volunteers have on patients, visitors to the Trust or their colleagues. 

Every month we reward someone’s efforts with a You Made A Difference award.

Our You Made A Difference award recognises and rewards members of staff and volunteers who have gone above and beyond. Through their work, they have made a difference to patients and visitors or to their colleagues at The Christie.

If a member of staff, team or volunteer has made a difference to you, please nominate them using the online form. Every month, we will choose a nomination and thank them for the contribution they have made to The Christie.

A photo of Jacquline Hyatt, Domestic Assistant at The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.

"Jacquline did not have to [help me], but her compassion, kindness and genuine care made a huge difference to me at an incredibly vulnerable time. She is a true credit to the hospital. Since then, I have gone on to show other ladies what Jacquline taught me – passing on the kindness that she showed me."
