RAISING AWARENESS TOGETHER… yet maintaining our own identities, providing support, information and funding for research


To date eighteen UK brain tumour charities have joined forces under the umbrella of the Brain Tumour Research group, giving this charity nationwide coverage and the capacity to lobby a far greater number of local MPs. An additional benefit of the coalition of charities is the ease in which the message (that a cure for brain tumours must be found and soon) can be passed at a local level.

Trudy's Trust

Trudy was a much loved mother, wife, sister and daughter who was cruelly taken from her family at the tender age of 35.

Her family want to put something back so that other people and other families don't have to suffer like Trudy and they have. Brain tumours are so savage - if it had been any other cancer, they would have at least been able to talk to Trudy before she died, but the brain tumour took her ability to communicate.

Trudy's Trust has been set up so that her family can do all they can to help find a cure for brain tumours.  http://www.trudystrust.co.uk/
