Brainstrust
Brain Tumour Awareness Month 2024
This Brain Tumour Awareness Month we're asking for people to help fund our vital resources.
Story
In the UK, 30 people will be diagnosed with a brain tumour today. For them and their loved ones, the road ahead looks scary and uncertain.
This is where we help. We provide personalised brain tumour support, to help people live life with a brain tumour.
The resources brainstrust offer are designed to help people living with a brain tumour diagnosis, and their families, feel more informed, in control and engaged with their care, no matter where they are on their brain tumour journey.
This Brain Tumour Awareness Month, brainstrust is asking for donations to help us to continue our vital work, ensuring we can continue to help everyone access the tools they need for a brighter tomorrow.
Together, we can make a life-changing difference!
Our Resources
The brain tumour patient guide is written in eight easy to understand sections, to be used individually or as a complete set. It could be particularly useful to patients and carers before they embark on each stage of their journey. £10 could fund the creation and delivery of two complete sets of these guides.
The information is wonderful, I wish I'd had this such a long time ago, we live and learn don't we. - Patient
Our online workshops are delivered by the brainstrust team and expert speakers from across the UK, these tailored workshops are bespoke and cover a wide range of essential topics to help our community thrive. It costs £15 for someone to attend one of these sessions.
It was brilliant to meet you and others at the fatigue workshop. It was the first time both Denise and I felt comfortable talking about the tumour like this with people we knew understood us. - Patient
The brainstrust brain box is tailored to each individual, the brain box makes sure people have the information and tools they need to feel in control and ready to face the road ahead. It costs £40 to send a brain box.
My brain box arrived today. I wish I know about it two years ago. This should be something all brain tumour sufferers and family members should be advised of. - Patient
Coaching conversations help people to focus on the things that matter most to them when life with a brain tumour feels overwhelming, so they can live their best day every day. £100 could fund two hours of coaching with one of our dedicated support specialists.
Your help has been monumental to me in working through my thoughts and understanding of this disease. You have helped me gain perspective and what has happened. Thank you so much for your time and kindness. - Caregiver
Could you help fund our vital work?
Whether you choose to fund a whole brain box, a set of patient guides, an online workshop or donate the spare change in your pocket, your donation will help us make sure our vital resources get to the people who need them.
We know that times are hard right now and that not everyone is able to donate the cost of a brain box or set of patient guides. Setting up a regular donation, for example, £4 a month could pay for one brain box per year.
