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.
