Connect with others who understand. Our face-to-face and online groups provide a safe, welcoming space to share experiences, ask questions and feel less alone.
A brain tumour diagnosis can affect every part of life — emotionally, practically and financially. Whether you are living with a diagnosis yourself or supporting someone close to you, you don’t have to face this alone.
Brain Tumour Support provides free, personalised support for patients, families, friends and caregivers at every stage of the journey.
Our specialist team offers emotional and practical support designed around individual needs. Support can begin at diagnosis and continue for as long as it is needed.

Specialist counselling for patients, families and caregivers to help process emotions, manage uncertainty and navigate the impact of a brain tumour diagnosis.
Practical and emotional guidance for those supporting someone they love — because the impact of a brain tumour extends beyond the individual diagnosed.
This Brain Tumour Awareness Month, we’re shining a light on the hidden impact of brain tumours — the emotional strain, uncertainty, caregiving responsibilities and long-term effects that can continue well beyond treatment.
We’re sharing real experiences from young people, families facing low-grade diagnoses, those navigating loss, and carers carrying quiet emotional weight.
If any part of this reflects your experience, support is available. Explore stories, guidance and ways to connect this March.
