In 2000, Nick Stafford, a retired head and neck surgeon, and former director of the University of Hull’s Postgraduate Medical Institute (PGMI) had the idea to create the Daisy Appeal.
Nick recognised there was a lack of scanning facilities in East Yorkshire and North Lincolnshire so set about the task of building the charity from the ground up.
The Charity was generously and enthusiastically supported by the Yorkshire and Humberside community and £8m was raised, which got us started on the path to where we are today.
Once it was established, Nick became the Chairman of its Board of Trustees. We are committed to raising Hull’s national and international profile as a centre of excellence in medical research.
