Yorkshire Evening Post
|May 21, 2025
Yorkshire Cancer Research has marked its 100th birthday by re-creating the moment the charity was founded in Leeds-100 years ago today.
-
The charity brought together 18 researchers, volunteers and supporters in the very room of its inaugural meeting to celebrate the 18 visionaries who gathered in 1925 to commit to improve cancer research in Yorkshire and help 'rid mankind of the scourge and fear of cancer'.
Yorkshire Cancer Research was founded in the library of the Old Medical School at the University of Leeds on May 21 1925. Here, Yorkshire's most influential figures united to forge a new organisation - the Yorkshire Council of the British Empire Cancer Campaign-laying the foundations of a century of life-saving cancer research in Yorkshire.
