Sparkle 2026

Sparkle for Brain Tumour Support

Shine bright — any day of the year

Sparkle is a fun, flexible fundraiser you can take part in whenever it suits you.

Whether it’s a glittery coffee morning, a sparkly dress-down day at work, a disco at school, or a celebration that already means something to you — your sparkle helps ensure no one faces a brain tumour diagnosis alone.

• When: Anytime
• Where: Anywhere

This is a sponsored fundraising event. However you choose to sparkle, every donation raised helps fund specialist emotional support, support groups and practical guidance for families affected by brain tumours.

Ideas to get you started

• Sparkly get-together: host a coffee morning, disco, quiz or themed party
• At work: run a sparkle dress day or glittery bake sale
• At school: organise a sparkle challenge, disco or creative day
• Make it personal: add sparkle to a birthday, anniversary or celebration

Why your sparkle matters

Every 40 minutes, someone in the UK is diagnosed with a brain tumour. For many families, that moment changes everything.

Funds raised through Sparkle help provide:

• Specialist counselling
• Telephone and online support
• Peer support groups
• Information and guidance for families and carers

However big or small your event, your sparkle helps people feel less alone at one of the hardest times in their lives.

Whether you’re thinking about signing up, planning your sparkle event, or already getting stuck in, our friendly team is here to support you every step of the way.
