Brain Tumour Support began with one family’s experience of a brain tumour diagnosis. Find out how that became a nationally recognised support service.
A brain tumour diagnosis doesn’t just change one life — it changes everyone around it. We know that. And we know that the right support, at the right time, can make all the difference.
Brain Tumour Support has been walking alongside patients, families, carers and loved ones since 2003. Not for a fixed number of sessions. Not until a funding window closes. For as long as you need us.
Imagine if…it were you. Appropriate support is crucial and cannot wait.
We’re here for everyone affected by a brain tumour — patients, family members, carers and those who’ve been bereaved. Whatever type of tumour, whatever stage of the journey, there’s no time limit on our support.
Our specialist services include one-to-one and group support, telephone and online support, and specialist counselling. We work with people and organisations across the UK, and our individualised approach to support is designed to provide friendly, accessible and tailored help to anyone who needs it.
We’re more determined than ever that no one should face a brain tumour diagnosis feeling alone.
Whether you're newly diagnosed, mid-treatment, or supporting someone you love, we have services designed around you.
