We Cannot Do It Without You
Thanks to your fantastic fundraising efforts, we are funding:
- Our Helpline, 0845 4500 386, which people can call for support and information.
- Research into the development of new treatments for brain tumours.
- The Denny Care and Relief Fund which provides practical support and relief for brain tumour patients, their carers, family and friends.
- Target – our regular newsletter that keeps our beneficiaries and supporters in touch with the latest medical treatments and key developments in brain tumour research, articles on nutrition and health, alternative therapies, community fundraising events and further ways to support our work.
- Local support groups and Phone Pals – a way of breaking the isolation that many people experience when affected by a brain tumour, either as a patient, carer or someone bereaved, an opportunity to meet people in similar circumstances and sharing experiences.
- Campaigning – working with others to raise awareness of issues, support research and improve access to the latest treatments.
But there is so much more to do! In the UK , 49 people every day receive the devastating and too often life-threatening diagnosis that they have a brain tumour. The services that we provide and research projects cost a great deal of money and without funds we will not be able to keep them going – please do all you can to help us with a donation today.
