Why Yorkshire Cancer Research

Yorkshire Cancer Research has been working for over 100 years to help people live longer, healthier lives, free from cancer? We’re proud to focus on preventing, diagnosing, and treating cancer in Yorkshire, a region where people are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer and more likely to die from cancer than almost anywhere else in England.

Factors like rural isolation, poverty, higher smoking rates, and late diagnoses make cancer a pressing challenge in our region. By focusing on Yorkshire, we can bring world-class expertise and innovation to the area, ensuring that the people of Yorkshire are the first to benefit from cutting-edge research and care. We have produced this short film showcasing our work and impact over the last 100 years. One Century. One Goal. A Yorkshire free from cancer.

We Walk for Yorkshire 2025

This May we're joining people across Yorkshire who are coming together to raise money for vital research that will help save lives in Yorkshire.

Every 17 minutes, someone in Yorkshire is told they have cancer. People are more likely to be diagnosed with cancer in Yorkshire than in most other parts of England and, tragically, too many people die.

This May, I would like to help change this, by taking part in We Walk for Yorkshire to raise money for Yorkshire Cancer Research. Thanks to supporters, the charity funds vital research and pioneers innovative new services for people with cancer.

Every step counts and every pound I am able to raise will help save lives in Yorkshire.
