Town Mayor
May 2023- May 2024

I am honoured to be the Town Mayor this year and I am looking forward to meeting you all during the year working as a local Councillor and the Town Mayor.

I have chosen a charity close to my heart and I am aware several other people in the local community have faced this difficult diagnosis. I will be working hard to raise much needed funds and I hope you will support my efforts by attending events and raffles.

The Bone Cancer Research Trust is the leading charity dedicated to saving lives and fighting primary bone cancer through:

  • Research
  • Awareness
  • Support & Information

The charity receives no regular government funding for its life-saving work and relies on public donations.

I also wanted to share the below paragraphs with you in case they are useful. They give a bit of background information about the Bone Cancer Research Trust and provide a little more detail on its work:

In 2004, a group of families who had lost children and young people to primary bone cancer and an oncologist came together around a kitchen table in Leeds. They wanted to change the fact that there was virtually no accessible bone cancer information, and practically no funding for research into this disease. The Bone Cancer Research Trust was registered in 2006.

To date, the Bone Cancer Research Trust has funded 148 research projects, totalling a research investment of over £8.3 million making it the largest, dedicated funder of research into primary bone cancer in the UK.

The Bone Cancer Research Trust provides a trusted source of information for people who are affected by primary bone cancer, and the healthcare professionals who work with them. The charity raises awareness amongst the public, healthcare professionals, researchers, and policy makers. And, in addition, offers a support network bringing people together, sharing stories that inspire hope, and signposting people to specialist support.
