Get support for a brain tumour diagnosis

Free, personalised support for patients, families and those supporting someone they love

By your side through every step of your brain tumour journey

A brain tumour diagnosis can bring uncertainty, practical challenges and emotional strain — often at a time when life already feels overwhelming. Whether you are newly diagnosed, supporting someone close to you, or adjusting to the long-term impact of a brain tumour, our specialist Support Team is here to walk alongside you.

Our services

Our support is free, confidential and tailored to your individual needs. We provide emotional, practical and financial guidance to help you navigate diagnosis, treatment and life beyond.

Our support

We can help with benefits and financial guidance, work or education concerns, travel and practical questions, and understanding the options available to you — so you don’t have to face these challenges alone.

Partnering for your wellbeing

We work closely with you to understand what support will make the greatest difference, drawing on both our in-house expertise and trusted partner organisations. Together, we focus on helping you feel informed, supported and less alone.

Support is available whenever you need it — at any stage of your journey.

How we can support you

You don’t need to have all the answers before reaching out. Many people contact us simply because they want to talk things through or understand what support might be available.
