We share your viewsWe gave brain tumour patients a voice during the Government's listening exercise on NHS reforms. We met David Cameron, Andrew Lansley, Secretary of State for Health, and Paul Burstow, Health Minister. Read patients' response to the Government's rethink on the reforms.

Hi-tech brain tumour answersWe have created a mobile version of our website for tablets, smart phones and iPhones. It is a lighter version of the main site containing all exhisting content, which you can now access on the move.
We make life a little easierWe paid out over £30,000 since January to help 80 brain tumour patients through our Denny Care & Relief Fund. One patient lost her job and home after her diagnosis: "I really appreciate the money from Brain Tumour UK. I have been able to purchase a cooker and save towards a washing machine.
Thank you for helping me get my life back on track."
