Yorkshire Cancer Community

Yorkshire Cancer Community is a registered charity with a board made up of patient and carer trustees, and aims to enable the views and experiences of cancer patients, families and friends to be heard, and used to improve the quality of cancer care in the region. The organisation does this by working together with health and social care professionals to ensure the patient voice is always taken into account, especially when designing or refreshing services.

Yorkshire Cancer Community recognises that a cancer diagnosis is a frightening and lonely place to be and its network offers support to guide patients and carers through this difficult time, signposting them to individuals who have been there themselves, to support groups and to cancer charities.
