Charles Hurst Toyota partners with NI charity Action Cancer

Charles Hurst Toyota, part of motoring giant Lookers Limited, is teaming up with local charity Action Cancer once again to become its official car partner.

The exciting partnership, which follows a long-standing relationship between the car retailer and Action Cancer, will help contribute to the £4 million the charity needs to raise every year to deliver life-saving and support services to people affected by cancer.

As part of its latest partnership, Charles Hurst Toyota, which has already helped raise more than £50,000 for the charity to date, will work with Action Cancer to raffle a Toyota Yaris Cross Design to one lucky winner, with tickets available through the Action Cancer website as well as in Charles Hurst Toyota Showrooms, M&S Stores and Gordons’ Chemists.

The 2023 Toyota Yaris Cross design model, worth over £27,000 will come in red, with tickets now available to purchase until December 11^th, paving the way for a very special delivery just in time for Christmas.

Luke McCready, Franchise Sales Manager at Charles Hurst Toyota, said:

“The team is thrilled to team up with Action Cancer as the charity’s official car partner. Action Cancer is an amazing charity that does incredible work for people throughout Northern Ireland whose lives are impacted by this cruel disease and anything we can do to show our support will be our pleasure.

“We know how generous the people of Northern Ireland and Charles Hurst customers are, so we’re confident they’ll get behind our push to raise much-needed funds for the charity.

The Toyota Yaris Cross is a great, SUV hybrid model, and we can’t wait for people to find out more about what the car has to offer as they get behind the all-important work of Action Cancer.”

Services provided by the charity include breast screening, skin cancer detection appointments, health checks and counselling, as well as complementary therapy sessions.

All services are free to use, with costs covered by Action Cancer. For every £1 of income the charity raises, it spends 80p on its cancer prevention, detection and support services.

Each year 8,000 women are screened for breast cancer through the charity, 3,000 men and women attend skin cancer detection appointments and 1,500 are supported through support and therapeutic services – including children as young as five.

Gareth Kirk, Chief Executive at Action Cancer, said the partnership was an extremely important association for the charity.

“We’re incredibly excited about this next step in our partnership, building on an already fantastic relationship between Action Cancer and the team at Charles Hurst Toyota.”

“As a local charity, all the money we and our supporters raise, is put to good use right here in Northern Ireland, helping to save and support an incredible 15,000 people across the region every year through the delivery of our vital services.

“With our wonderful partners at Charles Hurst Toyota, we hope to raise vital funds to carry on doing what we do best, working to support people all across Northern Ireland who are impacted by cancer.”
