Brain Tumour Research
Brain
Tumour Research represents the united campaign voice of the
Brain Tumour Research group of charities. Established in 2008, the charity
Brain Tumour Research was launched specifically to raise substantial funds
for brain tumour research and operates as a separate entity to the member
charities. |
|
Originally set up in 2004 as an informal
partnership of a number of UK brain tumour charities under the banner
of the United Brain Tumour Campaign, these charities committed themselves
to working together to achieve a common goal, namely to raise
funds for research into the prevention and treatment of brain
tumours, as well as ultimately finding a cure. |
|
Each of the members was galvanised into
action as a result of personal involvement with brain tumours, having
realised that there was relatively little being done to support brain
tumour patients or carers, or towards funding research into finding a
cure. |
|
Today there are fourteen UK brain tumour
charities represented within the Brain Tumour Research group, giving the
charity nationwide coverage. In 2008 these charities jointly raised
over £1 million. |
|
Funds raised are allocated to existing
UK centres where brain tumour research is already being carried out. Funds
are granted following an invitation for applications and will be subject
to their peer review. |
