When you have cancer having a place to go is more precious than you think.
This year 26,000 New Zealanders will learn they have cancer. This number is set to double in the next decade. When you have cancer, having a place to go for support, advice and information is more precious than you think.
Being able to get tailored support whatever type of cancer you are dealing with is hugely important.
The centre will be a place of support for people with any kind of cancer.

The Cancer Society’s Canterbury-West Coast Division is funding the new $22m facility with the help of the community.

Earthquake Insurance and Reserves - $12M
Government’s Shovel Ready
Project Fund - $6.5M
Funds needed - $3.5M
An estimated 9,000 people will visit or stay in the new Canterbury Cancer Centre each year. The centre will be more precious than you think.
The new Canterbury Cancer Centre will have:
• A new support hub available to everyone impacted by cancer
• A ‘park and ride’ service available for those needing easy access to cancer treatment
• Specialised day programmes and support groups that everyone can participate in
• A ‘home away from home’ feeling - 50 modern rooms for patients and their whānau to stay in when they travel to Christchurch for cancer treatment
• Culturally appropriate support for Māori and Pasifika
• Full kitchen facilities to make meals, or share kai with others
• Multiple lounge rooms to relax, unwind and socialise with others
• Landscaped garden and surrounding wetlands where patients, whānau and visitors can connect with nature
• Space for other cancer organisations and their teams to use as a base to provide their critical cancer services
• Room to expand our services to include psychosocial support, rongoā Māori, exercise rehabilitation, oncology massage and more
• Spaces where innovation and cancer research can be facilitated
The new and innovative Canterbury Cancer Centre has been designed to meet the community’s changing needs for cancer care now and in the future.
We all have a personal connection with cancer, whether at home, at work or amongst friends. Supporting the Canterbury Cancer Centre is a great opportunity to have a positive and far-reaching impact on our communities across the South Island Te Wai Pounamu.

Become a partner by ...
By sponsoring a room, you will help us create a home away from home for patients and whānau who need to access cancer treatment and services in Christchurch. Often patients need to stay for long periods and having a warm and comfortable room to rest and recover in is more precious than you think. Room sponsorship rates are from $7,500 per year.
A $5,000 donation will help us to provide our free transport services for local patients and those needing to travel to Christchurch for treatment and support. It will also allow us to provide a shuttle service to and from Christchurch and St George’s Hospitals seven days a week from the new centre. For people having cancer treatment, not having to worry about or pay for parking is more precious than you think.
Donating your services or your products will mean that we can direct more of the funds that we raise to supporting people in the community as they deal with cancer.
Choose to sponsor one of our rooms for either a one-year or three-year term. As a room sponsor you will have naming rights to your room, both at the entrance and within the room and your generous support will be recognised in the foyer of the new centre.
