Driving progress in brain tumour research

Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under 40. Through innovative brain tumour research, we aim to change this.

At The Brain Tumour Charity, we fund pioneering research to develop new treatments and improve the lives of those affected by brain tumours.

By investing in world-class scientists, supporting collaboration and accelerating newer, kinder treatments, we’re working to create a future where brain tumours are defeated.

We’re committed to advancing life-saving treatments and improving quality of life for everyone affected by brain tumours.
