New Patron announcement
We are delighted and honoured to have Tony Matharu join Sir Michael Morpurgo as Patron of Oracle Cancer Trust.
As we know Head and Neck Cancers can be brutal and have life-changing impact on appearance, speech, eating, sight and hearing. There is little awareness amongst the general public of the early symptoms and little research on which patient groups are at most risk. All pointing to the need to urgently tackle growing inequalities in prevalence rates and disparity of access to best treatment options and post treatment support, which is an area that Tony is particularly passionate about.
Tony is the founder and Chairman of Integrity International Group and Blue Orchid Hotels
Tony combines his passion for hospitality with philanthropy, sport and community engagement; acting as founder and Chairman of Integrity International Trust – building brighter futures for the most vulnerable; as London City Chairman of the Lord’s Taverner’s – “giving young people a sporting chance”; as Vice President and Patron of the Oracle Cancer Trust; and as founding Director of Central London Alliance (CIC) assisting London’s businesses and Londoners to recover post COVID-19.
A supporter of the Arts, Sport & Culture, Tony is a Patron of an award-winning London film festival. Tony also holds a number of board and other positions in the Arts, charitable sector, and sport; particularly cricket and hockey, and he continues to play at representative and international levels.
