Yorkshire Cancer Research are a charity, helping the people of Yorkshire avoid, survive and cope with cancer.
Funded entirely by donors, they have supported vital projects across Yorkshire for 90 years.
527 people are diagnosed with cancer every week in Yorkshire, and people in Yorkshire are more likely to get cancer, and more likely to die from it, than most other counties in England.
There are many reasons for this, including social deprivation, post-industrialisation and lifestyle choices. But there are also clear disparities in the availability of healthcare services and inequalities accessing early diagnostics, clinical trials and the latest treatments.
They are committed to working in partnership with researchers, scientists and clinicians, the NHS, Public Health bodies and other charities to make life-changing improvements to cancer outcomes in Yorkshire.
