Change The Story Appeal
A brain tumour diagnosis is devastating. Your gift today can help change what happens next.
We need to keep pushing for more research and better outcomes for children with brain tumours, because a brain tumour diagnosis is absolutely devastating in every sense.

Every day, an average of 36 people in the UK are diagnosed with a brain tumour. For too many families, the story that follows hasn’t changed enough in decades, with limited treatment options, harsh side‑effects and devastating outcomes.
Research is the only way we’ll discover kinder, more effective treatments and ultimately find cures for brain tumours. But brain tumours are complex, and research takes time, expertise and funding.
Across the UK, right now, thousands of families are facing the overwhelming reality of a brain tumour diagnosis. By donating to our Change the Story appeal, you can help create better futures for children like Reggie, and for everyone affected by a brain tumour.

Your gift will go a long way in helping change the story for those with brain tumours!
How will your gift help us change the story?
A gift today helps us tackle brain tumours on three critical fronts:
Funding vital research
Survival rates and treatment options for brain tumours have barely improved in decades. Your donation helps us fund pioneering research into kinder, more effective treatments, giving more children and adults access to better options and better outcomes.
Improving access to clinical trials
Clinical trials can give patients hope when options are limited. Your support helps increase access to trials across the UK, so more families can benefit from the latest research and innovations, just as Reggie did.
Supporting families and driving change
A brain tumour diagnosis is devastating and isolating. Donations fund our expert support services for families and power our campaigns for policy change, so everyone affected receives the understanding and care they deserve.
The SIOP-HRMB trial is helping us identify which treatments truly benefit children with medulloblastoma. Every advance we’ve made in treating childhood brain tumours has come through research like this. Clinical trials like this are essential to improve survival while protecting quality of life.
