Yorkshire's Brain Tumour Charity

Our vision

Our vision is clear and simple, to cure a devastating disease that affects so many people. Whilst we are working to find a cure, we will provide the best patient and family support network we can.

Why we are here

Around 9,000 new cases of primary brain tumours are diagnosed in the UK every year, 15 each week in Yorkshire. Whilst we are working to find a cure, we will provide the best patient and family support network we can.

We want to make this number smaller, and make life easier for those who are affected, by:

• Raising significant funds to support dedicated research projects into treating and curing child and adult brain tumours and sharing our findings with other charities.

• Giving grants and financial assistance to brain tumour patients and their carers.

• Arranging for hospital wards, patients and research centres to be provided with all the equipment they need.

• Supporting patients and their loved ones through providing practical advice (our benefits clinic), running support groups, offering counselling and a range of other holistic therapies.
