About us
Who we are
Brain tumours don't discriminate, so neither do we. Our purpose is to support anyone impacted by a primary brain tumour across Yorkshire.
Our vision is a world where brain tumours are cured.
Our mission is to support patients and their loved ones through the devastation a primary brain tumour diagnosis can bring, making sure they have someone to turn to at any stage of their journey, while funding innovative research across Yorkshire to find better treatments and ultimately a cure.
Why we are here
Around 11,000 new cases of primary brain tumours are diagnosed in the UK every year, 15 each week in Yorkshire.
Treatments have been relatively unchanged for nearly 50 years and brain tumours are now the biggest cancer killer of people aged 40 and under in the UK.
