Fundraising

It was a very n-ice start to 2020 for Bison fans and Ark Cancer Centre Charity as the Trane Basingstoke Bison and Zizzi Basingstoke teamed up to support the good cause. 

Bison supporters had the pleasure of being waited on by the Herd’s ice hockey stars as the Bison and Zizzi held the second of two charity evenings at Zizzi in London Street, Basingstoke.

EastEnders star James Bye put Ark Cancer Centre Charity in the national spotlight when he supported the good cause on Pointless Celebrities.

Basingstoke-born James, who has played the role of Martin Fowler in the popular BBC1 soap since 2014, chose to support Ark after he and EastEnders co-star Davood Ghadami got through to the final round of the popular BBC1 quiz show.

It is described as the World’s toughest expedition race – and Hampshire GP Roisin Ward has set her sights on being part of the first British women’s team to conquer it.

Roisin, her sister Jo Bush, and their friend Linda Johnston Rohrbasser are just weeks away from taking part in the Asnes Expedition Amundsen – and as well as blazing a trail, the three women are aiming to raise thousands of pounds for good causes.

The Trane-sponsored Basingstoke Bison and Zizzi restaurant are teaming up for a charity evening that will deliver a New Year boost to Ark Cancer Centre Charity’s £5million fundraising appeal.

Long-time Bison sponsors Zizzi are opening their doors to Bison fans on Wednesday, January 15, 2020 - and some of the Herd players will be swapping ice hockey sticks for serving trays as they wait on the guests.

What a way to celebrate the end of a special year!

Basingstoke professional wrestler Rob Holte has proudly posted the final total of his year of fundraising for Ark Cancer Centre Charity - and it's the awesome sum of £2,716.25.

2019 saw Rob mark his 10th milestone year as a wrestler with a fundraising drive that was a tribute to his late dad and has made a difference to Ark's £5million appeal for the much-needed cancer treatment centre at Basingstoke hospital.

Hello 2020 – and Ark Cancer Centre Charity is hoping that supporters will carry the spirit of out with the old, in with the new into the first year of the new decade to help the £5million fundraising campaign reach another milestone. 

Ark is urging local people to make a new year's resolution to recycle unwanted clothes and shoes in January in one of the charity's many branded recycling banks that are dotted in and around the Basingstoke area.

'Tis the season...for carol singing and the team from Ark Our Partner supporter Whiteoaks International PR were certainly on song today.

Christmas spirit and marvellous music was all around as two choirs delivered a festive boost for Ark Cancer Centre Charity.

Tadley Singers and Basingstoke Hospital Male Voice Choir (BHMVC) teamed up to perform a wonderful Christmas Concert to a packed audience at Pamber Heath Memorial Hall.

Both choirs have provided great support to Ark's £5million appeal that will fund supportive care and services, complementary therapies, and provide an enhanced environment in a much-needed NHS cancer treatment centre at Basingstoke hospital.

They are wonderful supporters of Ark Cancer Centre Charity - and now Basingstoke Hospital Male Voice Choir (BHMVC) have launched a CD in support of the good cause.

The choir have helped to raise thousands of pounds for, and awareness of, Ark's £5million appeal which will fund supportive services and care, complementary therapies, and an enhanced environment within a much-needed NHS cancer treatment centre at Basingstoke hospital.
