NFA renews charity partnership with Cancer Research UK

NFA renews charity partnership with Cancer Research UK

The National Fenestration Awards (NFAs) has officially announced that Cancer Research UK will return as its chosen charity partner for the second consecutive year.

​The partnership will take centre stage at the upcoming 2026 winners’ event on 24 October at the Hilton at Doncaster Racecourse.

Building on the incredible generosity shown by the glass and glazing industry last year, organisers are planning an even bigger fundraising drive during the popular race day.

​To raise vital funds for life-saving research, the event will feature a range of interactive elements, including charity raffles, games, and competitions throughout the day.

Attendees will have the opportunity to win premium prizes while directly supporting the fight against cancer.

​Sarah Rogers, of the National Fenestration Awards, expressed her pride in extending the partnership: “We are absolutely delighted to be working alongside Cancer Research UK for the second year running.

“Cancer is something that touches almost everyone’s life in some way, and our industry has always shown immense generosity when it comes to supporting a good cause.

​“Last year’s fundraising was a huge success. By weaving charity raffles and games into our race day format, we can give our attendees a fantastic, fun experience while raising money for a cause that truly matters.

“We are incredibly grateful to everyone who buys a ticket, joins in the games, or donates prizes to help us support this vital work.”

​With fewer than 100 tickets remaining for the October event, NFA organisers are urging anyone wishing to attend and support the fundraising efforts to secure their places immediately.

​To grab final tickets or to find out how your business can donate a prize to the charity raffle, contact Sarah Rogers at sarahnatfen@gmail.com.
