BTUK was founded in 1997, the charity has an impressive track record of providing practical and emotional support to brain tumour patients and their families and has a national network of grassroots supporters
Our Scientific and Medical Advisory Board ensure a solid profile for research and our Annual Educational Conference provides a focal point for dynamic discussions within the UK brain tumour community.
WE WORK TO
Increase awareness and knowledge of brain tumours and research into the disease
Improve access to information and support, and enhance treatment and care.
Raise money to fund an extensive programme of research, education and support
THE CHALLENGE
We challenge the notion that brain tumours are a rare form of cancer and seek to educate policymakers and the lay public regarding the profound and complex impact that brain tumours have on the lives of those affected.
THE FACTS

Cautionary Note- Facts about brain tumours are a statistical guide based on averages. They do not tell us how an individual will respond to treatment
WORK OUTSTANDING
Research is grossly under funded; support for those affected is fragmented and inadequate.
WORKING TOGETHER
Our staff, volunteers and supporters worked steadfastly to convert this unacceptable situation through action and hope
