‘Unleashed’ is back!

Supporters of Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity are being urged to snap up the new edition of a treat-filled voucher book which last year raised £65,000 for the cause.

Sheffield’s leading cancer charity has been chosen along with the Cash for Kids charity as beneficiaries of the Charity Unleashed experience book – a set of vouchers worth £1,000 that can be bought for only £50.

This year, the vouchers, provided by 33 of Sheffield’s leading businesses, include a one night stay in a double/twin room at the Copthorne Hotel, a seven day gym pass for two at Sheffield International Venues, a cut and blow dry at Toni & Guy, tickets for Sheffield United and Sheffield Wednesday and many more value for money offers.

A proportion of the funds raised from sales of the book will be split between the Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity and the other charity Cash for Kids.

Catherine Newman, senior fundraiser for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity, said: “Last year’s experience book was such a success and caused a real buzz across the city so we are thrilled to be part of the initiative again.

“It is a really exciting idea and a great way for Sheffield people to support the work of Weston Park Hospital while enjoying the benefits the vouchers bring.”

The prestigious Copthorne hotel is one of the businesses taking part and general manager, Orla Watt, is confident the initiative will have a really positive effect on the hotel and the wider Sheffield economy.

Says Orla: “We are delighted to be working with Charity Unleashed to help raise money for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity, a charity that we have always supported. The vouchers are not only raising money for such a worthwhile cause but also increasing business for all the companies taking part.”
