NEW CHARITY CHAIRMAN URGES SUPPORTERS TO ‘DO THEIR BIT’ A former local health chief executive is ‘doing his bit’ by taking on a key role at one of the region’s best loved charities. David Whitney has just been appointed chairman of Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity in a voluntary role that will see him oversee the work of the trustees and help steer and support the development of the charity. David was formerly Chief Executive of Central Sheffield University Hospitals which included Weston Park Hospital. David is also backing the charity’s ‘Do Your Bit’ campaign, also being
supported by Hollywood superstar Sean Bean, which is currently raising funds for a new state-of-the-art cancer research and treatment suite at Weston Park Hospital. This will allow patients access to a wider range of new cutting edge anti-cancer treatments, as well as enabling significant development of the hospital’s groundbreaking programme of clinical trials. Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity needs to raise £1.5 million this year in order to fund pioneering cancer research and to help improve the treatments and care for people
living with cancer. David said: “We are privileged to have a facility like Weston Park Hospital on our doorstep and it has been at the forefront of research for many years, working in collaboration with local universities and other charities. “That is why it is vital people support Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity and its ‘Do Your Bit’ campaign, to ensure that we have the best facilities available for this research and treatment to take place. “Cancer is something that affects so many people and makes us all feel vulnerable. Through my new role
as chairman, I hope to help inspire people to get involved in the campaign through the charity’s events or their own fundraising.” David added: “Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity has an enormous number of superb people who are incredibly dedicated to their roles and the team is amazing in terms of the fundraising it already does. “It’s important to build on this existing success and identify opportunities to strengthen the charity’s remit into the wider region. We will be looking at and developing existing
priorities of the charity, which ultimately is to improve cancer services for patients and supporting them through their treatment.” Weston Park Hospital provides care for cancer patients from across the region, which means that patients from Sheffield, Rotherham, Barnsley, Doncaster, Worksop, Chesterfield, and beyond benefit from donations made to the charity.
