YCR is the most successful regional medical research charity in the UK. We fund internationally recognised research, which focuses on a variety of cancers including: breast, bowel, cervical, non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, ovarian, prostate, skin, and genetics of cancers, to name but a few.

YCR is not a regional division of a national charity - it is an independent charity, based and operating in Yorkshire only. We are still, however, at the very forefront of the international fight to find a cure for cancer.

Yorkshire Cancer Research raises its money in Yorkshire and spends it in Yorkshire at its five centres of excellence based at the universities of Bradford, Hull, Leeds, Sheffield and York and their associated teaching hospitals.

Yorkshire Cancer Reserach is a member of the Association of Medical Research Charities (AMRC) - a membership organisation of the leading medical and health research charities in the UK.

our mission

The charity's objective is to promote research in Yorkshire into the cause and cure of cancer, which today accounts for one in four deaths in the UK.

From our office in Harrogate, Yorkshire Cancer Research aims to raise in excess of £5 million each year.

Yorkshire Cancer Research funds research by awarding grants to scientists working in universities and their associated teaching hospitals throughout Yorkshire: Bradford, Hull, Leeds, Sheffield and York.

The concentration of specialists and expertise in this region means that cancer sufferers right here in Yorkshire and throughout the world have access to some of the world's best treatment and therapy.
