This online support group is run by our Support Professionals for anyone supporting someone with a grade 3 or grade 4 brain tumour.

The group offers a safe space for family members, friends and carers to connect with others in similar situations, and to receive advice, support and guidance from peers who truly understand the challenges and pressures of caring for someone with a high grade brain tumour. The group is friendly and welcoming, and runs twice a month.

The virtual meetings have helped me feel less lonely and isolated.  It’s lovely seeing everyone from the support group and just having a chat with other people who understand.

About our groups

Our monthly schedule of online support sessions offers the opportunity for patients, family members, friends and carers to connect, gain support and information, and share experiences via Zoom.

Newcomers to the group are always welcome.

​You can join these regular, live online meet-ups via your computer, laptop, tablet or mobile phone. Before you join the online support session you will need to download Zoom onto your device, computer or tablet.  Zoom is a free application.

Our online sessions are facilitated by a trained Support Professional so there is always someone on hand to help.

Don’t worry about attending an online meeting.  You don’t have to turn your camera on if you’d prefer not to.  You’ll be given the option to use your camera before joining the meeting.

You’ll be welcomed by other group members who understand because they’re going through it too.
