We fund innovative research across Yorkshire with the aim of improving health outcomes for brain tumour patients. Our vision is a world where brain tumours are cured. Until that can be achieved, our mission is to support patients and their loved ones through the devastation a primary brain tumour diagnosis can bring, making sure they have someone to turn to at any stage of their journey.

Around 11,000 new cases of primary brain tumours are diagnosed in the UK every year, 15 each week in Yorkshire. Treatments have been relatively unchanged for nearly 50 years and brain tumours are now the biggest cancer killer of people aged 40 and under in the UK.
We want to change these statistics and make life easier for those who are affected, by:
