Join our urgent SOS Appeal: Save Our Support for brain tumour patients and families

Help us bridge the gap: Ensuring lifeline services remain available for those in need

As the demand for our vital support services has dramatically increased, we are faced with a critical funding shortfall that threatens the lifeline of support for thousands affected by brain tumours.

As a patient, I know firsthand the impact of brain tumours on mental health. That’s why I’m grateful for support services that provide a safe space to talk, share, and heal.

Imagine if you were facing a brain tumour diagnosis without the support network you desperately need. That’s the reality for many unless we act swiftly.
But together, we can make a difference.

The need for our appeal

  • Over 50% increase in service uptake
  • Financial strain exacerbated by the cost of living crisis
  • Without £200,000 urgently, thousands could be left without vital support services

Meet Ali

How support for her and her family was crucial after her mum’s diagnosis

Ali’s mum was diagnosed with a brain tumour last year and sadly died just eleven weeks later. Through Brain Tumour Support, the whole family found specialist support, guidance and compassion, to help them through a devastating journey.

You don’t realise what you need until you need it, and it was absolutely what we needed at the time.

Imagine if…it was you

A brain tumour diagnosis can impact any individual, irrespective of age, gender, lifestyle, or health condition.

  • 45 people every day: Approximately 16,000 people each year in the UK are faced with the devastating news that they have a brain tumour.
  • Brain tumours are indiscriminate: No matter your age, gender, lifestyle or general health, a brain tumour can affect you.
  • A diagnosis can affect all aspects of life: Damage can be physical, mental, emotional and social, for not just the individual but their family and friends too.
  • Impact on caregivers: Brain tumour diagnoses not only affect patients but also have a significant impact on their caregivers, who often experience increased stress, anxiety, and emotional strain while providing care and support.

Meet Carly

Life was good for Carly. She loved her job, had recently married her childhood sweetheart Kris, and just celebrated her 30th birthday. What she didn’t know was that she was living with a large brain tumour. Carly told us how it changed her life, and how Brain Tumour Support helped.

It’s priceless, to be able to deal with different emotions and have your mindset in the most positive way. It makes a massive difference.
