Yesterday, we had a fantastic meeting to discuss new ways to collaborate & support vital research projects in Yorkshire🧠💙

We're thrilled to share this photo of our Director alongside the incredible @Dominicmatteo21, whose support and passion for the cause is truly inspiring!

#NewYear & lots of exciting developments for @YorkshireBTC as we plan to help as many #Yorkshire based #braintumour patients as possible! Looking forward to presenting all about the charity at the @CanAlliance_SYB this aft!

So chuffed about these 2 new Leeds-based peer support groups, due to launch in January.

We have exciting support plans for 2025, can’t wait to get cracking and help as many Yorkshire-folk affected by brain tumours as possible! 💙

We’re thrilled to start 2 brand-new peer support groups in Leeds to provide connection, understanding, and community to those affected by brain tumours.

A fantastic night at the @YorkshireBTC Black Tie Ball in Retford! 🧠

So grateful to work with such amazing community ambassadors, who are so passionate and proactive in fundraising to help support #braintumour patients & families! 💙

@beINSPORTS_EN Couldn’t happen to a nicer fella…

[David Grant-Roberts @grantrobots]

As with many #charities, @YorkshireBTC was heavily affected by the reduction in funding after the #pandemic, and 2023 was a tough year for the #charity

Fast-forward to today, where we've successfully steadied the ship, and we’ve now coproduced our future strategy! What. A. Day.

[David Grant-Roberts @grantrobots]

@alanshearer Totally agree, they look sharper, brighter and more tenacious. A very entitled and insipid performance by us so far! ☹️

[David Grant-Roberts @grantrobots]

@toonarmy_com They just look sharper, quicker to everything and more tenacious. We need to wake up!

[David Grant-Roberts @grantrobots]

@john_nufc42 Poor, look like we need to wake up ☹️

[David Grant-Roberts @grantrobots]

@yorkracecourse @YorkClerk @YorkshireRacing On behalf of @YorkshireBTC thank you for our nomination in the @SkyBet #EborFestival Community Race today. Looking forward to a great day of racing and keeping our fingers crossed for Chillingham 🤞🏼🐎

[David Grant-Roberts @grantrobots]

We’ve braved the rain & are ready for the #EborFestival at @yorkracecourse this weekend! 🐎

The results are in & @YorkshireBTC have been paired with a horse called ‘Chillingham’!

Fingers crossed we can secure the funding to help Yorkshire-based #braintumour patients & families!

[David Grant-Roberts @grantrobots]

Doris for PM! #dogsatpollingstations

@jedgeordie Am so sorry for your loss. I lost my Dad quite recently too. The pain is the heart-breaking cost of loving someone so much, in time it’ll ease & you’ll find yourself thinking more on the memories & the feeling of gratitude having had someone so special in your life. Take care x

[David Grant-Roberts @grantrobots]

@JeffStelling I 100% think they should, but equally I 100% think he will be stubborn and pick an unpopular team again

[David Grant-Roberts @grantrobots]

Some very encouraging #braintumour research news from the @braintumourrsch team at @PlymUni 🙌🏼

[Brain Tumour Research @braintumourrsch]

Scientists at our Centre of Excellence at the @PlymUni are exploring a groundbreaking clinical trial. They're testing whether HIV and AIDS drugs can help people with Neurofibromatosis 2 (NF2). 🧬

I absolutely loved yesterday, meeting with the other member charities and the team @braintumourrsch! Everyone was super welcoming, and very encouraging to hear about some of the amazing #braintumour research and campaigning that’s taking place! 🙌🏼

[Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity @YorkshireBTC]

A fantastic and emotional day meeting fellow member charities, and hearing their stories. Collaboration and increased investment in research is key to working towards improving health outcomes for #braintumour patients & families #Togetherwewillfindacure

[David Grant-Roberts @grantrobots]

Amazing and encouraging #braintumour news yesterday!

[Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity @YorkshireBTC]

Fantastic news yesterday that the @NHSEngland is set to roll out the first ever targeted treatment for #braintumours in children and young people in England.

@GingerPirlo_ I do love Eddie Howe and am so thankful for everything he’s done, but I can’t really argue with a lot of the points you’ve made about his tactics. I also agree that he’s potentially not ruthless enough.
