Join our community on Facebook
Our closed Facebook groups are a great place to connect with other young adults affected by a brain tumour and share your experiences.
Join todayIf you're aged 16-30 and living with, or beyond, a brain tumour diagnosis, join us at one of our young adults events and meet others that understand.
Everyone is welcome, you can even bring a family member, friend or partner as your plus one. We're an informal and friendly bunch and the events are a fantastic way to meet new people who understand what you're going through.
The events are free to attend, we ask that you register in advance so that we know how many people to expect and wouldn't want anyone to miss out.
We also hold Teen Days for anybody living with a brain tumour diagnosis and who's aged between 13-17 years old. Any siblings that fall within the 13-17 year old age bracket are also welcome to come along.
Join us for some fun online games and get to know others who understand.
As these are small group sessions, spaces are limited, so please sign-up below to help us know who to expect on the day.

Due to the updated Government restrictions on gatherings of more than six adults, we’ve made the decision not to hold any more face-to-face meet ups in 2020.
We are so sorry that we won’t get to see you again this year, but we will be continuing our fortnightly Online Meet Ups using Zoom.
And, as the New Year approaches, we’ll be regularly reviewing the most up-to-date Government advice so that we’re ready to hold our next Meet Up as soon as it’s safe.
This decision hasn’t been taken lightly because we know you enjoy these opportunities to get together as much as we do. Thank you for your understanding, if you have any questions or if there’s anything else we can help with please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
If you have any questions please contact the Young Adults Team on YAS@thebraintumourcharity.org.
After months of chatting to each other on Instagram, Mary and Iona were thrilled to finally meet in person at our first young adults' meet up of the year in Birmingham.
As Mary and Iona know, it can be a lifeline talking to someone who “gets it."
We are grateful to the Elliott Simmons Charitable Trust who kindly support our Young Adults Service.
A big thank you to the Lewis Moody Foundation (LMF) who also kindly support our Young Adults Service.
The LMF was founded by Lewis Moody MBE and his wife Annie in 2014. Since then, they've raised over £1.3m to help change the story around brain tumours.
