Meet The Team

Jessica Ennis

Sheffield's own World Heptathlon Champion & World Indoor Pentathlon Champion Jessica Ennis has been supporting the Cancer Charity for a number of years.

Jessica said "It's an absolute honour to be a patron. I really enjoyed helping out and I'm looking forward to getting even more involved."

Darren Gough

We are proud that Barnsley-born former England, Yorkshire and Essex cricketer Darren Gough has honoured us by becoming a patron of the Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity.

A renowned fast bowler, Darren also came to the attention of a wider audience when he won the third series of Strictly Come Dancing with his professional dancing partner Lilia Kopylova. Darren has made a number of public appearances for Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity.

Joslyn Hoyte-Smith

Former Olympic athlete Joslyn Hoyte-Smith has had a long association with the Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity dating back to 2003.

"This is my charity and I will do all I can to help," says Joslyn.

"I am doing this for my Dad who sadly lost his life to cancer but who is still my guiding light."

Jonathan Hudson

"I have first hand experience of the world-class treatment and care given at Weston Park Hospital.

It is very reassuring to know you are being treated by clinicians who are recognised as not only amongst the best in the UK but in many cases the World. The Cancer Charity has been instrumental in helping Weston Park Hospital become this centre of excellence and I hope to do all I can to support it."

Jonathan is the driving force behind Ask4, the UK's leading independent supplier of broadband Internet services to multi-tenanted residential developments.

Dave Allen

We employ approx 400+ people in Sheffield about whom I care. Unfortunately there will be a small percentage who, at some time during their life, will require the care and expertise of Weston Park Hospital.

I firmly believe that the hospital and its staff are fully deserving of support and donations and to that end, we as a company have always tried on an annual basis to fund one or another project.

I have a saying ‘if you take out of the community you should put something back into it’.

Darren and Gail Baker

We are honoured to be Patrons of Weston Park Hospital Cancer Charity. Myself and Gail became involved with Cancer Charity in 2006 after the death of my father John Baker. He was treated at Weston Park, and the care and attention he received was absolutely marvellous.

Uriah Rennie

Football referee Uriah Rennie has been involved in fundraising events for the Cancer Charity in the past but decided that he wanted to increase his involvement to help further raise the profile of the charity in the region and beyond.
