Yorkshire Stars is part of the Yorkshire Cancer Research 'Help Yorkshire Shine' Christmas Appeal, which aims to support people affected by cancer this Christmas. 

By dedicating a star, you can celebrate someone who has recovered from cancer, thank those who have shown their support, or remember a loved one who is sadly no longer with us.

You can get involved by dedicating a Yorkshire Star to someone affected by cancer. Simply upload a photo and a message about why you have dedicated a star to this special person.

You can dedicate a Yorkshire Star online anytime up until 3 January 2025. The stars created during this time will remain visible on the Yorkshire Stars online gallery so you can continue to view and share your star with loved ones.

Yes, when dedicating a Yorkshire Star, you will be asked who the star is dedicated from. You can write your own name, a nickname, or the name of your group e.g. The Smith Family.

Once you have dedicated a Yorkshire Star, it will appear in our online gallery. You can search for your star, share it with friends and family, or print it out and display it at home.

If you choose to, your Yorkshire Star will also be displayed at the Yorkshire Cancer Research Centre at Hornbeam Park, Harrogate. You are warmly invited to visit and see your star shining on the tree. You can view the centre’s opening times here.
