UNITED… in a common cause to give brain tumour patients the same chance as those with other cancers

Brain Tumour Research represents the united campaign voice of the Brain Tumour Research group of charities. Established in 2008, the charity Brain Tumour Research was launched specifically to raise substantial funds for brain tumour research and operates as a separate entity to the member charities.

Originally set up in 2004 as an informal partnership of a number of UK brain tumour charities under the banner of the United Brain Tumour Campaign, these charities committed themselves to working together to achieve a common goal, namely to raise funds for research into the prevention and treatment of brain tumours, as well as ultimately finding a cure.

Each of the members was galvanised into action as a result of personal involvement with brain tumours, having realised that there was relatively little being done to support brain tumour patients or carers, or towards funding research into finding a cure.

Today there are 21 UK brain tumour charities represented within the Brain Tumour Research group, giving the charity nationwide coverage.
