Our mission is to promote research, principally in Yorkshire, into the cause and cure of cancer and to publish and share the results of this research with the world's scientific community for the benefit of mankind.

Yorkshire Cancer Research has launched its latest fundraising initiative, Symphony of Lights, in partnership with Harrogate Borough Council, with a little help from local actor Reece Dinsdale (Coronation Street's Joe McIntyre).

Councillor Don Mackenzie, Cabinet Member for Planning and Transport at Harrogate Borough Council said: "We are delighted to be working with Yorkshire Cancer Research on a project that will raise money for them to continue their research and at the same time enhance the winter beauty of the Stray and the current very popular winter lighting scheme."
