What we do

The shape and impact of our support

Each year, Brain Tumour Support provides support to hundreds of individuals and families throughout the UK.

Our Support Professionals provide a community of support for those individuals, their families, friends, work colleagues and carers, living with a brain tumour diagnosis. We provide quality information, resources, and support services.

Our one-to-one approach enables patients and their loved ones to receive support in any way that suits them.  Trained Support Professionals, who bring with them a wide range of knowledge and expertise, offer a personal assessment and give ongoing support by telephone, email, text and online.

Our services are free to access and include

  • One-to-one support
  • Telephone support
  • Counselling
  • Support sessions and groups
  • Support Forums on Facebook
  • Social and support event
  • Online information
  • Specialist welfare benefits advice
  • Counselling
  • End-of-life support
  • Bereavement support

Counselling

Our counselling service is available to anyone who has been affected by a brain tumour diagnosis, whether a patient, family member, friend, work colleague or carer.

It is there to provide additional support to our Support Professionals and is another confidential and secure place to process any feelings or issues that are difficult to manage.  Within a safe setting, counselling provides an opportunity to explore feelings, working at an individual pace over a series of weeks or months.

Our services are guided by the needs and preferences that people have when facing their individual brain tumour journey.  We listen and gather information from our community to ensure that we continue to provide services that are relevant and useful.

Our support is as unique and as complex as each experience of facing a brain tumour diagnosis.
