Local charity heroes, York Against Cancer have been providing support and assistance to cancer patients and their close networks for many years.
Constantly striving for new projects to better the lives of those who are suffering, the organisation is now proud to announce its latest venture. Thanks to the generosity of Old Tithe Cottage’s owners, Hazel and Phil, who wanted to do something to support cancer patients in the area, York & Scarborough Hospitals Trust cancer patients can now spend three nights at their lovely Yapham retreat. After spending over a decade on the renovation of the disused dairy farm, the couple kindly decided to donate the use of the cottage to York Against Cancer.
In response to the latest initiative, CEO at York Against Cancer, Julie Russell stated: “We know from our other respite property just how much these breaks mean to patients as well as their families and friends, so having this second property means we can support so many more families through their difficult times. We really can’t thank Hazel and Phil enough for doing this!”
If you know someone locally who has been diagnosed and might benefit from a refreshing break at The Old Tithe Cottage, please visit www.yorkagainstcancer.org.uk or call 01904 764466 for more information.
