Many groups offer support throughout the UK and Ireland . They meet regularly to provide advice and friendship to those living with a brain tumour and/or their carers. Some focus on particular needs, such as low grade glioma tumours and meningioma tumours (see contacts below).

Attending a group is a great way to meet others in a similar situation, to exchange information and experiences, to offer and receive support and to build confidence.

Some groups are run by a patient or a carer others may be facilitated or attended by a health care professional. Download a list of Brain Tumour Support Groups or contact us for information.

If you would find it difficult to attend a group, you can still find someone to talk to through our Phone Pals service.
