Pink It Up raises over £25,000

Pink It Up FInale

A huge thank you to everyone who supported Pink It Up 2025. Together, you helped raise over £25,000 to support children with cancer and their families across Yorkshire!

From schools and nurseries to businesses and community groups, so many of you got involved in pink-themed events and challenges to raise funds and spread joy.

Congratulations to Our Competition Winners

  • Schools Winner: Roundhay School, Leeds
    Drawn from our tombola of participating schools, Roundhay raised over £2,000 and will receive a visit from Champ and a £1,500 prize from YPO. Thank you to YPO for sponsoring our schools challenge!

  • Corporate Winner: PJ Staffing Ltd
    PJ Staffing raised an incredible £7,000 through their “Pink Weekender” in Leeds, including pink-lit buildings and a 3-day bar takeover.

  • Community Winner: Little Learners Nursery
    This amazing nursery raised £2,300 with raffles, cake sales and messy staff challenges, including ice buckets and egg flours!

Little Learners

Pink It Up Week finished with a party at Leeds Children’s Hospital, where our Family Support Team created magical pink moments, including a pie splat event featuring our CEO and some very creative pies.

Our Fundraising Team also hosted Pink Pedal Power, cycling 150km outside The Square — representing the 150 children diagnosed with cancer in Yorkshire each year — and raising over £500.

From mocktails and carnival games to toilet roll pig racing, this week was full of fun, laughter, and love.

Thank you for going pink and making a difference. We can’t wait to do it all again in 2026!
