We Are Here For You...
Why Our Support Is Unique:
Local
We are the region's very own brain tumour charity, we offer specialist and local support to everyone in Yorkshire affected by any type of brain tumour. Around 11,000 new cases of primary brain tumours are diagnosed in the UK every year. An average of 15 of these each week are in Yorkshire. For all those families whose lives have been suddenly turned upside down by a diagnosis, we are here for you.
In-person
Whilst we can provide remote support (see our 1-2-1 and financial support pages), often there is no substitute for meeting people and connecting face-to-face. As a regional charity, we know Yorkshire like the back of our hands. We provide peer support groups and wellbeing walks all over the region, connecting you in-person with people who really 'get it'.
Peer Support
Peer support involves people with similar life experiences connecting with and providing understanding to each other. We know how important it is to chat to others who really understand what you're going through. That's why we also provide peer support to anyone impacted by a brain tumour in Yorkshire - see 1-2-1 support, peer support groups and wellbeing walks for more info.
“I feel like your charity is my rock in this process. You have always been there in any way I've needed. I don’t feel alone, and knowing I have a safety net to catch me if I fall, means I feel stronger. I love that it’s a Yorkshire based charity because you feel connected to the hospital and to local research.”
