For 2026, YorWealth is delighted to support York Against Cancer.

Cancer can affect anyone, at any time, and having access to friendly, local support services is invaluable to patients and families during diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

York Against Cancer exists to provide care for patients and their loved ones. As well as their own cancer care support centre, the charity also offers free stays in their respite properties across Yorkshire. They are designed to offer friendly spaces for patients and their loved ones to access holistic care away from clinical environments.

They provide a free minibus service to transport patients to their radiotherapy treatments in Leeds, and have their own mobile chemotherapy unit, fully staffed by experienced NHS professionals, to make treatment more accessible.

The team at York Against Cancer are very involved with community education too. Project “CARES” (Cancer Awareness and Risk Education in Schools) is a project funded by York Against Cancer and facilitated by the Huntington Research School, sharing interactive teaching resources around cancer and providing teacher training on difficult conversations with children on the subject.

The charity also supports cancer research. They fund the Jack Birch Unit at the University of York, which is making landmark discoveries in understanding the causes, prevention and treatment of cancer.

York Against Cancer is an independent charity is entirely funded by donations and fundraising actions. It is an honour to support their goals with our charity partnership this year.
