We're so honoured to be chosen by Amotherby & Swinton FC to support us throughout the 2026-2027 season!

This support will make a huge difference in the lives of cancer patients and their loved ones. Thank you so much! 💙

We are delighted to announce that, for the first time in the club's history, we have selected two local charities to support and fundraise for throughout the 2026–27 season.

Both charities carry out fantastic work within our local community, and their causes are very close to the hearts of everyone involved at the football club.

Andys Man Club Malton & Norton are a men’s su***de prevention charity, offering free to attend peer-to-peer support groups across the United Kingdom and online. AMC want to end the stigma surrounding men’s mental health and help men through the power of conversation. . AMC have a weekly support group based in Norton.

York Against Cancer is a local charity helping people in York, North and East Yorkshire affected by cancer. They provide a range of support services for cancer patients and their loved ones. Along with a Mobile Chemotherapy Unit at Malton & Norton Rugby Union Football Club each week, YAC also have free respite breaks in Filey and Yapham for cancer patients and their loved ones.

We look forward to working alongside them and helping to make a positive difference both on and off the pitch.

As we celebrate Pride Month this June, we want to highlight the importance of fostering a safe, welcoming space for every member of the LGBTQ+ community throughout the cancer experience 🌈

Did you know? A 2018 study from Stonewall reports that 1 in 7 LGBTQ+ people avoid seeking healthcare for fear of discrimination. However you identify and whoever you love should never affect your right to healthcare treatment.

That's why it's so important for every step of the process to be inclusive, setting patients at ease and ensuring they feel understood. Putting out LGBTQ+ specific leaflets, wearing rainbow badges or being open with your own pronouns can be simple ways to break down these barriers and encourage patients to feel safe.

At York Against Cancer, we're always here to support you however cancer has affected your life. Pop into The Leveson Centre at York Community Stadium, give us a call on 01904 202647 or email [email protected] to chat through whatever may be on your mind 💙
