Support, Campaigning and research
2023 is a very special year for Brain Tumour Support, marking as it does two decades of delivering support. This pioneering work came from the painful family experience of the charity’s founder and CEO, Tina Mitchell Skinner. In 2003, when her husband Paul Mitchell died from a glioblastoma grade 4 at the tragically early age of 37, there was no service to turn to for information and support.
Tina’s pledge, to ensure that no other family should have to face the impact of a brain tumour alone, has grown over those years to reach thousands of individuals and families across the UK.
Brain Tumour Support’s latest impact report reflects, not only the impact of our support over our last financial year but also the past, present and future of the charity.
Read it here and, with always more work to do and more people to reach, please do connect, get involved and help to make the next 20 years count even more.
