Join us as a sponsor - only a few opportunities available!

By participating in the Yorkshire Choice Awards, not only will you gain extensive exposure for your business, but you will also contribute to giving well-deserved recognition to unsung heroes while making a positive impact on a worthy charity.​

In 2026, we’re proud to be supporting Candlelighters, a charity providing vital support to children and families facing childhood cancer. For many of our sponsors, this partnership is a key reason they get involved. It’s a meaningful way to demonstrate social responsibility while contributing to work that really matters here in Yorkshire.

Next year is extra special for us. We’ll be celebrating our 10th anniversary, alongside Candlelighters marking an incredible 50 years of supporting children with cancer and their families throughout the region.
