Business Beats Cancer Newcastle raise £95,000 for Cancer Research UK

North-East-based charity Business Beats Cancer Newcastle recently hosted a gala dinner to raise awareness for Cancer Research UK, with all proceeds funding the ground-breaking research conducted right on our doorstep.

Business Beats Cancer Newcastle raised an incredible £35,000 for Cancer Research UK at their charity gala dinner last month, meaning the brand-new board has now raised over £95,000 in just nine months.

In June 2023, Business Beats Cancer was taken over by a brand new board of nine successful business leaders from across the region, to bring the North East’s corporate community together to join the fight against cancer.

Last month, the board, including Chairman Chris Breckon, Philippa Breckon, Graeme Stammers, Laura Middleton, Sian Buchan, Helen Fawcett, Paul Lovett, Suzannah Harnor and Christine McVay, came together to harness their networks and organise a charity gala dinner in support of Cancer Research UK

The board recently welcomed its newest member, Chris Hall, General Sales Manager at Aston Martin Newcastle, who has been an active supporter of the charity over the last year.
