York Professionals announces York Against Cancer as Charity of the Year for 2026
In its 25thsilver anniversary year of representing businesses in York, York Professionals has selected York Against Cancer as its charity of the year for 2026.
York Against Cancer is an independent charity helping people in York affected by cancer. They provide care and support for patients and their loved ones, fund pioneering cancer research and provide cancer awareness education and information.
Susie Mortonson, Chair, York Professionals, said: “With so many extremely worthy charities to choose from the decision was not an easy one. After careful consideration we are delighted to support York Against Cancer at this year’s Silver Anniversary Ball, where we will raise as much money as we can. Last year we raised almost £6,000 for Brainkind and we hope to achieve a similar amount this year. We’ll be holding a raffle and silent auction to fundraise for this fantastic charity.”
Andy Knowles, CEO at York Against Cancer said: “York Against Cancer is absolutely delighted to have been chosen as York Professionals’ Charity of the Year for 2026. This partnership means a great deal to us: it connects us with a fantastic community of local business people who care deeply about York. It will help us raise vital funds and awareness to support local people affected by cancer and to invest in better outcomes for the future. We’re really looking forward to working together and making a tangible difference across our city.”
