Brain Tumour UK is working with the UK’s other brain tumour charities and the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Brain Tumours.

Chaired by James Arbuthnot MP, the APPG supports our efforts to make a difference for everyone affected by a brain tumour.

On 14 October 2010, Brain Tumour UK, the Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust and Brain Tumour Research, with the International Brain Tumour Alliance, launched a manifesto for everyone affected by a brain tumour.

The new manifesto was presented to James Arbuthnott at a reception attended by members of the APPG, scientists, clinicians, and many brain tumour patients and their families.

We hope to persuade the new Government to work in partnership with them to improve outcomes in diagnosis, patient care and research.

Brain Tumour UK is also a key member of the steering group for the APPG, helping your MPs and Peers in the House of Lords identify the key issues to focus on in their Parliamentary work.

Trevor Lawson, head of communications at Brain Tumour UK, commented: "Through the APPG, we can empower MPs and Peers to make a real difference for everyone affected by a brain tumour. We welcome their support."
