Brain Tumour Awareness Month

Hundreds of supporters came together throughout March as they took part in events, fundraised and helped us campaign for change.

But our work doesn’t end there. Every month, more than 1,000 people will find out they have a brain tumour. Get involved to help us raise awareness of this devastating disease and support our fundraising activities.

Every day, 35 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour, yet, to date, just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002. Brain Tumour Research is determined to change this.

We’ve got lots of activities throughout the year where you can take part to help us find a cure.

Frequently asked questions

When is Brain Tumour Awareness Month? 

Brain Tumour Awareness Month takes place in March. It was launched in 2004 by a group of charities that went on to become founding members of Brain Tumour Research.  

One in three people in the UK knows someone affected by a brain tumour. By raising awareness, we can continue to invest in essential research that can improve treatments and, ultimately, find a cure. 

Missed out on getting involved in March? You can still take part in lots of our fundraising and campaigning activities throughout the year.
