As Christmas approaches, Weston Park Cancer Charity is inviting the South Yorkshire community to support its vital work by getting involved in a range of festive fundraising activities.
From hosting a Christmas jumper day to joining a concert under the stars, there are plenty of ways to make a difference – and every penny raised will go towards supporting cancer patients, their families and the staff at Weston Park Cancer Centre.
Shine Bright for the Christmas Star Appeal
The centrepiece of this year’s festive campaign is the Christmas Star Appeal, which encourages supporters to donate in honour of someone special or simply to give back during the season of goodwill. Every donor will receive the charity's 2025 decoration to hang with pride at home or in the workplace.
Money raised through the appeal helps fund everything from pioneering cancer research and patient support services to essential equipment and improvements to the hospital environment.
Christmas Choir concert held at The Victoria Hall in Sheffield on Thursday 14th December 2023
Sing Under the Stars
Community spirit and Christmas cheer will be in full swing at Sing Under the Stars – the charity’s annual festive concert at Victoria Hall on Thursday 11 December.
With music, drinks and a warm, uplifting atmosphere, it’s the perfect way to celebrate the season while supporting a cause close to the region’s heart. Tickets are just £5 and available now at westonpark.org.uk/events.
Christmas Jumper or PJ Day
Schools, colleges, nurseries and businesses across South Yorkshire are also being encouraged to don their best festive jumpers or cosiest pyjamas for a Christmas dress-down day.
Simply pick a date in December, register with the fundraising team, and let the celebrations – and donations – roll in. The Weston Park team is on hand to offer guidance, promotional materials and fundraising tips. Just email charityteam@wpcancercharity.org.uk to get started.
Cards That Care
Another simple but impactful way to contribute is by buying from the charity’s online Christmas shop. Featuring a selection of beautifully designed cards, the shop also offers the option to make a direct donation to key services supported by the charity.
