About brainstrust
brainstrust is a UK based brain cancer charity, dedicated to improving clinical care for brain tumour sufferers and providing co-ordinated support in their search for treatment. We provide support and advice at the point of diagnosis and beyond, by updating treatment, improving care and, ultimately, saving lives.
brainstrust – good for brains, bad for brain tumours
Our mission
brainstrust’s mission has one goal: to make things happen for people with brain cancer.
We are pioneers
brainstrust is the brain cancer charity which supports patients at the point of diagnosis, but also looks beyond this point to improve the treatment, care and outcomes of all patients who are diagnosed with a brain tumour.

Meg is
brainstrust’s icon and is the face that launched this ship. Aged 19, when she was about to begin a new life at university, she was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumour.
Our icon

brainstrust’s true north is highlighted in a series of objects. Our trustees must apply the income of the charity in furthering these objects.
