What we've achieved together
Yorkshire Cancer Research campaign supporters have already helped deliver real change. With your support, we can go even further. Together, we have:
- Brought life-saving lung screening to people at risk across the country – enabling thousands to get earlier checks that could save their lives.
- Established Yorkshire Cancer Research as a trusted voice in national cancer policy – with MPs, Peers, and the Department of Health and Social Care actively seeking our insight, including at key decision‑making roundtables.
- Amplified Yorkshire’s voice on the national stage – ensuring that the unique needs of our region are heard clearly, both locally and in Westminster.
- Secured vital information from Ministers and through Parliamentary Questions – strengthening our evidence base and advocacy.
Thank you to everyone who has already taken action - you have shown decision-makers that the needs of Yorkshire cannot be overlooked.
Please help continue this progress.
Quote from Karen Nile, Sheffield
