Our Listening Project is aimed at ensuring absolutely everyone affected by brain tumours feels heard and supported in their needs.

The Scottish Government has launched its Cancer Strategy outlining its plan to improve cancer services and overall survival in the next 10 years.

Back in 2015 we launched our five year strategy ‘Defeating Brain Tumours’ and our research strategy ‘A Cure Can’t Wait’. Our manifestos were unashamedly ambitious, but we knew they had to be.

Thanks to the support of our community, we’re pledging more than £3.7m to UK and international teams working towards our twin goals: doubling brain tumour survival and halving the harm caused by the disease

Now, with only one year to go, we‘re looking back at some of the outstanding things you’ve helped us achieve since 2015. And we’re looking forward, to our plans to push for more progress in the next 12 months.

A report today from Cancer Research UK predicts that survival from brain tumours will remain virtually unchanged over the next 20 years, despite an expected fall of 15% overall in the number of cancer deaths by 2035.

We are proud to launch our new strategy to double survival and halve the harm that brain tumours have on quality of life.
