BEATSON Cancer Charity is to benefit from a partnership with Partick Thistle Football Club.

The partnership will involve staff and players at the Firhill club taking part in a host of fundraising activities throughout the year – from Beatson Bake Offs to Wear it Yellow days.

The club will also arrange bucket collections at matches and raise awareness of the cause with branding at the stadium and in match-day programmes.
Season tickets will also be offered to patients and families, and the club’s annual ball will also support the charity.

David Welch, chief executive of Beatson Cancer Charity, said: “This is a truly unique and generous partnership with Partick Thistle FC and we are honoured to be its chosen charity partner for the year ahead.”

Welch continued: “Without support from our corporate and community partners, like Partick Thistle FC, the charity would not be where it is today.

“We’re very grateful to everyone at the club and the Jags’ supporters for their dedication to raising money for The Beatson and its related facilities.”

Beatson Cancer Charity supports and enhances the treatment, care and wellbeing of current and former cancer patients and their families.

The charity delivers a wide range of specialist services and provides significant funding to benefit those affected by cancer, as well as supporting those involved in cancer care and research.
