Peer Support Groups

We understand the profound impact a brain tumour diagnosis can have on patients, their families, and their caregivers. That's why we’re dedicated to providing compassionate, community-driven support through our network of peer support groups across Yorkshire.

​

Why Join a Peer Support Group?

Our peer support groups offer a safe and welcoming space where you can:

​

  • Share Experiences: Connect with others who truly understand what you're going through

  • Gain Emotional Support: Feel heard, understood, and supported by people who care

  • Learn Together: Access valuable advice, coping strategies, and resources tailored to your needs

​

Whether you’re a patient, family member/caregiver, or have been bereaved by a brain tumour, our groups provide a lifeline of understanding and connection.

​
