Campaigning  

Hard work and challenges - and success!

Since our start in 1997, we have helped thousands cope with the diagnosis of a brain tumour. 

We’ve achieved a lot – but what we’ve achieved does show up how much of a need there is for our organisation to exist. Our work is simply this – we want to do all we can to help anyone affected by the often life shattering diagnosis of a brain tumour.  

For ten years we’ve been here with our Helpline service, our popular newsletter, Target, our website, our support and telephone groups and, of course, to fund vital research into the causes, treatments and effects of brain tumours. 

Key to our work is campaigning for better care and treatments and our annual conferences – a chance for patients and families to talk about their experiences and to get the latest updates direct from medical professionals.    

To continue to do all this and more, we must raise much-needed funds so we were thrilled to receive a donation specifically to produce a film showcasing the stories of those whose lives have been affected by a brain tumour.  

Jenny Baker, Chief Executive of Brain Tumour UK says: ‘We were delighted to award the contract to Mix TV Ltd. Xanthe Hamilton and her colleagues have produced a sensitive and moving portrayal of three families who’ve had to face the consequences of living with a brain tumour and lives which will probably never be the same again.’

Once you have heard Andrew, Lisa and Mewen’s stories please do all you can to support our work – every day another 49 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour and we must be here to do all we can for them.
