I am delighted that we have collectively chosen Friends of the Cancer Centre as our Charity of the Year. It is an incredible organisation that has significantly invested in local cancer services across NI since its establishment. It provides support to staff, patients and their families at a time when they need it most. At EY, we believe in partnering with like-minded organisations who strive to make an impact on our society.
