Smailes Goldie walks the extra mile for Yorkshire Cancer Research

Smailes Goldie, a chartered accountancy firm, is supporting Yorkshire Cancer Research by taking part in the We Walk for Yorkshire challenge this May.

Throughout the month, team members across all five of the business’s Yorkshire offices will be collectively walking 1,000 miles with the goal of raising at least £1,000 to fund lifesaving cancer research.

Leading the charge are colleagues from the Hull office: Rachel Underwood (business development manager), Matt Fox (partner), Rachel May (head of audit and compliance), Jayne Hussey (personal tax manager), and Darren Sanderson (consultant).

Trainee accountants Eve Shelton and Ben Watkins are representing the firm from the Scarborough office, while fellow trainee Isabella Fink and accounts assistant Andrea Holliday will represent the Selby office.

Erin Allsopp, a manager based at the Pickering office, will also be taking part, joined by Alison Dodgson (accounts manager) and Sally Sleightholme (accounts senior) from the Kirkbymoorside office.

Rachel Underwood, business development manager at Smailes Goldie, said: “As a Yorkshire-based firm, we are committed to giving back and having a positive impact on our community.

“Someone in Yorkshire is diagnosed with cancer every 17 minutes, so this is a cause very close to our hearts.

“We are thrilled to have team members from all five of our Yorkshire offices taking on the We Walk for Yorkshire challenge. Together, we can help fund research, improve treatments, and save lives across the region.”

Yorkshire has some of the highest cancer rates in England, with residents more likely to be diagnosed with, and die from, the disease than in most other parts of the country. Yorkshire Cancer Research funds vital research and pioneers lifesaving treatment for the benefit of people in Yorkshire.
