Apply for Support
Thank you for reaching out for support during this challenging time for you and your loved ones.
Appreciating that each situation is unique, we are committed to accommodating your specific needs and requests to the best of our ability. Our trustees bring a wealth of understanding and compassion through their own personal experiences with Brain Cancer, ensuring each application receives the attention and care it deserves.
We fund a range of personalised support options, with the aim to alleviate stress and bring moments of joy to families. Whether it’s organising special holidays and experiences, supporting food and fuel bills, providing assistance with respite care, or fulfilling a cherished wish, we’re here to help make it happen.
So we can decide if they are eligible for support, each applicant must give their consent to share their diagnosis, and for us to correspond with their treating doctor – no further details are necessary unless you deem it relevant. If other details are provided, the applicant must consent to us using and sharing that information if necessary to process their application.
If have you questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to email us at any time. We are here to assist you as you work through each step of the application process.
