Brain Tumour Support provides free emotional, practical and financial guidance for people affected by a brain tumour diagnosis across the UK.
We work in partnership with healthcare professionals to help ensure patients — and those supporting them — can access specialist support alongside clinical care, from diagnosis onwards.
Our specialist Support Team works directly with patients, families and carers to provide personalised support at any stage of the brain tumour journey.
All services are free of charge and confidential, and available across England, Wales and Scotland.
Support is tailored to the individual and delivered at a pace that feels right for them.
You can refer a patient at any stage — from diagnosis onwards.
Referrals are quick and straightforward. With patient consent, you can complete the referral form on behalf of your patient, or share the link so they can contact us when they feel ready.

Prefer to share the link directly? You can send the referral page to patients and families to complete in their own time.
All referrals are handled sensitively and in confidence by our specialist support team.

Our experienced Support Professionals and Welfare Benefits Advisers are based across the UK and understand the complex emotional and practical impact of a brain tumour diagnosis.
We work alongside clinical teams to help ensure patients receive holistic support that complements medical treatment.
We have a range of free resources to support patients, families and carers. These can be shared in the clinic or sent to patients to access in their own time.
This Brain Tumour Awareness Month, we’re highlighting the hidden impact many people live with — including young people affected by brain tumours, the realities of low-grade diagnosis, caregiving, loss and life beyond treatment.
Explore BTAM resources and stories you can share with patients and families.
