An award-winning York-based Chartered Financial Planning firm (and longstanding Your Local Link advertiser), PenLife Associates, has raised an impressive £10,209 for OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity, which offers valuable support and care for local children and families living with brain tumours. This latest fundraising effort from Penlife has contributed to a grand total of £50,689 raised for local charities in the past seven years!
OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity was founded in 2014, in memory of nine-year-old Oscar Hughes from York. Sharon Reid, CEO of the charity, said: “We are absolutely thrilled with the incredible fundraising efforts from PenLife. These funds will make a real difference to families affected by childhood brain tumours. We cannot thank the whole team enough for their dedication to raising these vital funds.” It’s hoped that the PenLife team’s contribution will help the charity to raise brain tumour awareness, fund vital research, improve diagnosis times, boost survival rates, and enhance quality of life for young local people currently undergoing treatment.
In 2025 alone, PenLife’s charitable efforts included swimming the equivalent width of The Channel and completing the Yorkshire Three Peaks. This year, its nominated Charity of the Year is Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Nina Wright, Director at PenLife, said: “We’re excited to work with them throughout the year and to raise as much as we can to help ensure they can continue delivering this essential service.”
