Classic Cottages makes charity donation to Brain Tumour Support

27 April 2022 | Corporate, Fundraising, Supporters

Brain Tumour Support has been delighted to receive a generous donation from Classic Cottages, the Cornwall-based holiday letting specialists operating across the South and West.

Cornwall-based Company contributes £800 to support vital services

Claire Harper, a member of the Classic Cottages sales team, put the charity forward to receive the £800 donation having had close family experience both of the impact of a brain tumour diagnosis and the difference that specialist support makes.

“Brain Tumour Support has been such a help to my family and to others. Having someone close to your diagnosed with a brain tumour really turns your and their life around. It is nice to be able to talk to those who understand and have the support there when you need it.”

Brain Tumour Support’s specialist services include one-to-one and group support, online and telephone assistance and specialist counselling, from the point of diagnosis and for as long as help is needed.

Tina Mitchell Skinner, Brain Tumour Support CEO and Founder:

“On behalf of all the patients and families that we support, we would like to say a very big thank you to Classic Cottages for this generous donation. Our support services are a lifeline to thousands of brain tumour patients and their families across the country, but we know that sadly there are so many more who still have no support. £800 enables us to fund at least four of our Zoom Support Sessions, which have proved so vital for many people since face-to-face support groups had to be suspended due to the pandemic.

“Receiving a brain tumour diagnosis is shocking news and difficult for any family to cope with, and connecting with other people who understand can make a crucial difference. One lady recently told us, “These meetings keep me going. Friendships that start in the sessions continue afterwards and are life-savers.” This wonderful donation from Classic Cottages helps us to continue making that difference in the lives of many more people.”
