Story

LETS MAKE WEAR A HAT DAY EPIC...

Wear A Hat Day is one of the UKs most celebrated brain tumour awareness and research fundraising events, the grand finale of Brain Tumour Awareness Month.

Despite the challenges of COVID-19, we think that Wear A Hat Day 2021 is perfectly timed this year to become a huge event, bringing hope and inspiring the nation like never before!

Taking part in Wear A Hat Day is really fun and easy.

You can get involved just about anywhere.

Wear A Hat Day iA great for schools a perfect way to engage pupils, teachers and parents in an enjoyable day of creativity and fundraising.

Wear A Hat Day at home or in your community get together as a family to fundraise at home, rope in friends and relatives to make it a bigger event together or online.

Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age. Whats more, they kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer... yet historically just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.

Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this.

We are building a network of experts in sustainable research at dedicated Centres of Excellence whilst influencing the Government and larger cancer charities to invest more nationally.

We are the only national charity in the UK that is dedicated to raising funds for continuous and sustainable scientific research into brain tumours and we are a leading voice calling for greater support and action for research into what scientists are calling the last battleground against cancer.
