YFM Raises Over £50,000 for The Christie Charity

At YFM Equity Partners, our strength lies in our unity, and the recent efforts of our team, supporters, and donors have proven just how much we can achieve when we work together. Through determination, compassion, and a shared purpose, we are proud to announce that we have raised an incredible £50,758.50 for The Christie Charity.

This fundraising journey has not only highlighted the power of collective effort but has also embodied the spirit of “One YFM,” bringing together our team and wider network to support a cause close to our hearts.

The funds raised will directly support two vital initiatives at The Christie, enhancing the care and experience of cancer patients and their families:

This funding will contribute to the development of a state-of-the-art Four-Dimensional CT Scanner, a critical tool for diagnosing and treating cancer with greater precision. Alongside this, the redesign of the CT department will create a more patient-friendly environment, offering comfort and care to individuals navigating one of the most challenging times in their lives.

By expanding this essential service, patients will have access to local blood testing facilities, alleviating the need to travel to central clinics. This initiative will ease the burden on patients and their families, making life a little easier during difficult treatment journeys.

To mark this achievement, YFM’s Sophie Tainton and Andy Thomas visited The Christie to present the cheque and learn more about the impact these projects will have. Hearing directly from The Christie team was both humbling and inspiring, as they shared stories of how these services will transform the lives of patients.

This journey of fundraising has been deeply personal for YFM. Our colleague, Andy Thomas, who has been undergoing treatment for stage 4 cancer, has been a source of strength and inspiration throughout. Despite facing his own challenges, Andy joined the effort, embodying resilience and the spirit of One YFM.

From running 10K races to hosting fundraising events, this achievement has been a team effort in every sense. The YFM team and our supporters pulled together with a shared goal: to make a meaningful difference for patients and families navigating cancer treatment.

This milestone reflects the collective spirit that defines One YFM—where every individual contribution adds up to create something extraordinary. Whether it was running alongside teammates, organising events, or generously donating, every effort has played a part in this success.

To everyone who supported this cause: thank you. Your contributions have not only raised funds but also delivered hope to countless patients and families. Together, we’ve supported life-changing projects, and in doing so, we’ve demonstrated the profound impact that teamwork and compassion can have.

This achievement is a reminder of what’s possible when we unite behind a shared purpose. At YFM, we believe in the power of coming together to create positive change—whether for the businesses we support or the communities we serve.

Here’s to continuing to make a difference, together as One YFM.
