Sponsorship is a powerful way to showcase your business while making a real difference. Each of our events offers unique sponsorship opportunities — large or small — designed to suit your goals, budget and brand.
Why sponsor our events?
Every year, we host a calendar full of exciting and high-profile events, including:
These events would not be possible without the generosity of local businesses. By becoming a sponsor, you’ll help us deliver unforgettable experiences that raise vital funds for people living with cancer across our region and raise the profile of your business.
Why choose us as your charity of the year?
Choosing Wessex Cancer Support as your charity partner will provide support to families living with cancer in your community. Many companies and their employees work together to raise funding for their ‘Charity of the Year’, making a big impact on the charity’s ability to deliver its work.
We have been privileged in the past to have been selected and have ensured that the funds raised are spent locally, giving us the ability to support local families living through cancer.
Previous Charity of the Year funding has trained support volunteers, provided counselling sessions as well as funding the day to day costs of our Support Centres. The benefit of your fundraising can last for years to come, supporting families into the future.
Please contact us if you feel we could be considered as a potential charity of the year in your organisation.

“We’re very pleased to be sponsoring the Wessex Cancer Support Air Show Hospitality Day for the fourth year running. The charity does a wonderful job of organising the event and all those who attend always say how enjoyable the day is.
It was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with a range of local companies, enjoying the Bournemouth Air Show whilst also having the opportunity to raise funds for a charity which does so much fantastic work.
