Brain Tumour Research

Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer. Help us in our vision to find a cure.
Brain Tumour Research
Brain tumours are indiscriminate; they can affect anyone at any age. What’s 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!
Our Vision
To find a cure for all types of brain tumours.
Our Mission
To increase the UK investment in brain tumour research.
We are the only national charity in the UK focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours through campaigning to increase the national investment in brain tumour research to £35 million per year, while fundraising to create a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence across the UK.
£2,740 represents one day of research at one of our centres.
Your Impact
A sustainable stream of steady funds gives us the confidence to invest in long-term research at our dedicated Research Centres, helping to cover the costs of our scientists and clinicians, as well as supporting our ongoing campaigning activities.
£10
Could pay for a month of microplates, which are everyday lab dishes that are essential for researchers exploring the effects of new drugs on brain tumour cells.
£25
Could fund a PhD student for a morning to carry out discovery research in one of our Centres of Excellence, helping to accelerate the journey to discoveries that could lead to new clinical trials and treatments.
£50
Could pay for an hour of a Senior Research Fellow’s day running a Brain Tumour Research lab, developing and co-ordinating vital research projects from a team of PhD students.
