Tom's Trust

Who we are

Tom's Trust is the UK's only charity dedicated to providing mental health support to children and young people (CYP), with brain and central nervous system tumours, and their families. We believe that every CYP with a brain tumour should have access to the mental health support that they need, as well as their loved ones. Approximately 500 CYP aged 0-19 are diagnosed with a brain tumour each year. Many experience serious mental health issues as a result of their tumour, and 62% of those who survive will then live with life-long disabilities.

Our Tom’s Trust clinical psychologists support hundreds of CYP, and thousands of families, within hospitals in the East, North-East, North-West, and Thames Valley; helping them from diagnosis, through brutal treatment and as they return to life at home.

Our head office is based in Cambridge but we have a number of staff who work hybrid or fully remote from home.
