Weston Park Cancer Charity’s Christmas Star Appeal returns for 2025

Weston Park Cancer Charity’s Christmas Star Appeal is back for 2025 and raising vital funds for local people facing cancer.

Money raised through the charity’s annual Christmas campaign will go towards ground-breaking cancer research, support services and treatment enhancements at Weston Park Cancer Centre.

Everyone who backs the campaign will be awarded a digital star on the charity’s website, on which they can share a message of thanks, love, or remembrance.

Supporters will also have the option of receiving a wooden Christmas star decoration as a thank you from the charity.

Each donation to the campaign will make a huge difference to people in our region who have been impacted by cancer.

A gift of £100 for example could pay for ten bereavement books, which help children and families at Weston Park Cancer Centre to navigate difficult conversations around loss and grief.

Dr Satya Garikipati, a Consultant Clinical Oncologist at Weston Park Cancer Centre, said: “Your support means so much at this time of the year.

“It allows us to buy presents for those who can’t be at home. It means we can take our youngest patients out to see a pantomime.

“Crucially, it helps us to fund clinical trials and treatments which extend lives – enabling people to have more Christmases with their loved ones.”

Sam Heritage, head of fundraising at Weston Park Cancer Charity, said: “For one in two of us, cancer will change everything.

“That’s why we’re so grateful to our Christmas Stars, who make a real difference through their generosity.

“We’d like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who supports the Star Appeal this year. Together, we can help thousands of people across our region to live well – with and beyond a cancer diagnosis.”

Change and save lives this year through Weston Park Cancer Charity’s Star Appeal.
