Vangarde Shopping Park brings joy to families affected by cancer with toy donation at The Leveson Centre

The Leveson Centre, York Against Cancer's brand-new support centre for those affected by cancer, has received a heartwarming surprise from Vangarde Shopping Park of children’s toys and books for their Family Room.

This generous donation is set to make a huge difference for the charity in helping them create a welcoming and cheerful space for families affected by cancer to unwind and spend precious moments together.

The Leveson Centre offers a range of services to those impacted by cancer, from group meetings to comforting coffee mornings and complementary therapies. And now, thanks to Vangarde Shopping Park's thoughtfulness, the Family Room is stocked with a delightful assortment of games and books to keep the whole family entertained.

Deborah O'Donnell, the Centre Manager at Vangarde Shopping Park, expressed her delight in being able to lend a helping hand to such an exceptional local charity, saying’ ‘With the Leveson Centre situated at The York Community Stadium, right next to Vangarde, it's truly an amazing addition to the area, providing invaluable support to local people affected by cancer. We are so pleased to have been able to help in a small way towards their wonderful work.’

The Leveson Centre is named after one of the charity’s co-founders, Professor Steve Leveson, a retired Consultant Surgeon renowned for his compassion and dedication. The support centre is entirely donor-funded, established and run by York Against Cancer. With unwavering support from the community and generous donations, the local charity has worked hard to build a space that will positively impact the region's cancer support services for years to come.
