The Macmillan Cancer Support Foundation can credit £35,428 to their future efforts. During the 2022 World Matchplay, players could earn money for charity with 180's and a special challenge.

Per 180-score, tournament sponsor Betfred would donate 50 pounds. In total, 367 maximum scores were thrown, which brought in £18,350.
There was also a Nine-Dart Challenge. Participants, journalists, celebrities and officials were each allowed to throw nine darts and for every point thrown, £1 was donated to Macmillan Cancer Support. This raised over £7,000.
Betfred then donated an additional £10,000 to the pot, bringing the total raised to £35,428.
