Walk for ENCORE may be over for another year, but the momentum doesn't stop there. Following the incredible support shown by our community, YWCA Hunter Region is excited to introduce the ENCORE Collective – a new initiative bringing together Hunter businesses to help keep our free ENCORE breast cancer recovery program available to local women.
Introducing the ENCORE Collective | 50 for ENCORE
What is 50 for ENCORE?
We know that every business has something different to offer. That's why we're asking each participating business to choose just one meaningful action to support ENCORE.
There is no set contribution, no minimum fundraising target and no one-size-fits-all partnership. It's about finding something that works for your business, your team and your community.
Whether it's running a fundraiser, donating a portion of sales, getting your workplace involved, sharing your professional skills or supporting an ENCORE event, every action can make a difference.
Be one of our Founding 50
The first 50 businesses to join the ENCORE Collective in 2027 will be recognised as our Founding 50 – helping establish a growing Hunter-wide community of businesses united by a shared commitment to supporting women after breast cancer.
By joining, your business can support local women, give your team a meaningful cause to get behind and build an ongoing relationship with ENCORE and YWCA Hunter Region.
Why ENCORE?
ENCORE is YWCA Hunter Region's free eight-week breast cancer recovery program, supporting women to rebuild strength, confidence and connection after breast cancer treatment.
Combining gentle exercise, wellbeing education and the opportunity to connect with others who understand the journey, ENCORE provides more than physical support. It helps women feel supported, build confidence and know they aren't navigating recovery alone.
Community and business support helps strengthen the program's reach and create more opportunities for local women to take part.
Your business. Your one thing. A meaningful difference.
We'd love to hear from Hunter businesses interested in being part of something bigger.
You don't need to have your idea worked out yet. Simply register your interest and we'll be in touch to explore what might work for your business.
Together, we can help more local women access the support, strength and connection that ENCORE provides.
