What we're doing
Since 2015 we’ve been working towards our goal of 2,000 fewer people dying of cancer, every year in Yorkshire. We’re working in local communities, raising awareness of cancer symptoms, making sure people attend their screenings and investing in leading-edge cancer research.
Reducing
the impact
of cancer
for 95 years
The results so far...
Our latest community health project has provided over 2,000 people with information and knowledge needed to live a healthier life, attend vital screenings and lower the overall risk of cancer. The breast cancer drug Tamoxifen and the ovarian and breast cancer drug Lynparza - developed with the help of our funding - have improved and extended the lives of millions of women around the world.
