Yorkshire Cancer Community

We are an information and support network for people affected by cancer and those who support patients and carers in the Yorkshire and Humber area. We are a registered charity with a Board made up of patient and carer trustees. We aim 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 our region. We do 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. A cancer diagnosis is a frightening and lonely place to be and our 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. As we are an independent charity, we have no allegiance to any one charity, which means we can list and signpost any service on offer in the area, to benefit those affected by cancer.
