Trusts and Foundations

The Brain Tumour Charity is grateful for the support of many charitable trusts and foundations, both in the UK and internationally, which are having a significant impact across all areas of our work. These investments are making it possible for us to fund the best research to help find a cure, support everybody affected by this devastating disease and raise awareness of brain tumours to save lives.

How trusts and foundations can help

Our 5 year strategy is unashamedly ambitious and we need your help to increase our investment into our charitable objectives:

Funding world-class medical research into the biology, causes, diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours;
Giving support and information to those affected no matter where they live;
Raising awareness of the signs and symptoms of brain tumours amongst the public and healthcare professionals.

We have a range of projects across the UK in need of funding, with many opportunities for trusts and foundations to invest in something with measurable and tangible outcomes, for people of all ages who are affected by brain tumours.

BBC Children in Need have supported our vital work with children affected by brain tumours since 2009. Watch the video to see how they have been helping us to support children and young people.
