VIDEO: Todmorden scientist takes coffee break to help beat cancer sooner
Steve Bagley, from Todmorden, who is head of the advanced imaging at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute, is taking a break, in the name of science, to help promote Cancer Research UK’s Coffee Morning.
Steve said: “We’d like to encourage everyone in West Yorkshire to host a coffee morning. Research like ours is funded by Cancer Research UK and that’s only possible because of generous donations from the public.

Steve and his scientist colleagues will be attending a coffee morning and bake sale fundraiser organised by David Jenkins, who works as a purchasing officer for scientific equipment at the Cancer Research UK Manchester Institute.
David has been running David’s Great British Bake-off, where he sells cakes and snacks as well as raffle tickets, lucky dips and homemade jam, at the Institute since 2010 years, raising over £3,700 for Cancer Research UK.
Mr Jenkins said: “As a purchasing officer at the Institute I see the cost of research and the need for ongoing fundraising first hand. That’s why I’m urging everyone in Greater Manchester to hold their very own coffee morning.
“It’s a bit of fun and a chance to socialise with workmates or friends and raise funds for a really important cause.”
