Online chat for teens with a brain tumour

Yes. We also offer a support service specifically for teens whose sibling has a brain tumour diagnosis. This service offers the same support and social opportunities as the teenagers ‘living with’ group, but specific to siblings and their own unique circumstance. You can find more information about this service here.

Ordinarily the online events will be facilitated by our Young Ambassadors, who have all been personally affected by a brain tumour diagnosis. However, charity staff will also be on hand throughout the event to ensure it runs smoothly and offer further support, if needed. These events can offer something for everyone from fun games and activities, to informative talks and support around topics such as exam revision, school with a brain tumour and so forth.

At The Brain Tumour Charity we are committed to ensuring the safety and promoting the welfare of all the children and young people we support. Please follow this link to read more about our Charities Safeguarding Policy. All our staff members and Young Ambassadors have had DBS checks
(Disclosure and Barring service, formerly known as Criminal Record Bureau or CRB). We also ask for the details of an emergency contact.

Our safeguarding policy

Absolutely. This event is for all teenagers who have been personally affected by their own brain tumour diagnosis. This includes those who are in active treatment and beyond.
