SUMMARY:Your tumour tissue\, your voice: Help shape the future of tissue storage and use (low grade)
DESCRIPTION:Background\nHow should brain tumour tissue be stored and used for research?  \nWhen someone undergoes surgery or a biopsy for a brain tumour\, the tissue collected can be incredibly important for research. It can help scientists better understand brain tumours\, develop new treatments and explore opportunities for more personalised care. \nBut what happens to that tissue afterwards? Where is it stored\, who can access it\, and how are decisions made about its future use? \nBrain Tumour Research is undertaking a UK-wide review of tissue biobanking — how brain tumour tissue is collected\, stored and made available for research. Alongside this work\, brainstrust is bringing together people affected by brain tumours to ensure their experiences\, perspectives and priorities help inform the review and its recommendations. \nWe want to hear what matters to you. \nWho can get involved?\nWe are looking for: \n\nPeople living with a low grade brain tumour.\nCaregivers\, family members and loved ones of someone affected by a low grade brain tumour.\n\nWhat will you do?\nJoin brainstrust for a small\, relaxed online conversation exploring what matters to people when brain tumour tissue is donated\, stored and used for research. \n\nWhat matters most to you when your tumour tissue is collected\, stored and used for research\, both now and in the future?\nTrust and choice: Does it matter where tissue is stored\, who looks after it and who can access it for research?\nFuture opportunities: How important is it that tissue remains available for further testing or potential clinical trial opportunities?\nResearch priorities: As technologies such as genetic testing\, artificial intelligence and personalised medicine develop\, what would you most want researchers to consider?\nGetting it right: What should change about how brain tumour tissue is stored\, shared and used to better reflect the priorities of people affected by brain tumours?\n\nThere are no right or wrong answers. We’re interested in your thoughts\, experiences and questions\, whether you’ve previously donated tissue for research or have never considered what happens to it. \nWhy is it important to be part of this conversation?\nAs research advances\, access to well-stored brain tumour tissue is increasingly important. Getting this right isn’t just about supporting scientific progress. It’s also about trust\, choice\, transparency and ensuring that decisions reflect the priorities of people affected by brain tumours. \nYour contributions will help identify what matters most to the brain tumour community and inform the wider UK tissue biobanking landscape review. \nPlease note that these workshops will take place online via Zoom. You’ll receive joining details after registering.

SUMMARY:Living With Metastatic Brain Cancer?  – online meetup
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a virtual event where we share stories\, support\, and resources for those of you who are living with metastatic brain cancer. \nWe are so fortunate to have Dr. Eric Rahrmann join this meeting. Eric is an Assistant Professor at the Hormel Institute in Minnesota who has spent his career on one urgent question: why does cancer spread? His Nature Genetics-published discoveries on how cancer cells travel through the body have led to three patents covering early metastasis detection and new anti-metastatic treatments; these work with direct relevance to anyone living with brain metastases. \nJoin us to hear from a researcher working at the frontier of stopping metastasis in its tracks. \nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket.

SUMMARY:Myles Webinar - Support between coaching conversations
DESCRIPTION:Living with a brain tumour can bring questions\, worries and decisions that rarely arrive on schedule. Myles is your always-on private AI coach app for making sense of difficult thoughts\, conversations\, changes and decisions\, whenever you need it. Most AI apps give you answers. Myles helps you ask better questions. \nLead by Paul\, the creator of Myles\, and a member of the brainstrust Support Team\, this webinar will show you what Myles is\, how it works and where its boundaries lie. \nBefore our session\, take a moment to consider what support might be useful between appointments or coaching conversations. A few questions to think about \n\nWhen thoughts\, worries or questions build up between sessions\, what do you usually do with them?\nAre there moments when you would value somewhere to pause and think things through\, without feeling you are burdening anyone?\nWhat might you want help thinking through: how you feel\, a decision\, a question\, or an important conversation?\nIf you could make one of those moments a little easier\, what difference might that make?\nWhat would help you feel comfortable exploring something like Myles?\n\n  \nThere are no right answers\, and you do not need to share your responses. These prompts are simply an invitation to notice what support might make a difference for you. \nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket. \n

SUMMARY:Unlocking Precision Medicine for Every Cancer Patient - come along and hear about Astron Health's approach.
DESCRIPTION:Improving lives through treatments tailored to what is driving each person’s cancer \nEvery cancer is different\, but most patients only get a basic genetic test that can miss important clues about what is making their cancer grow. Specialist teams who can read those clues in depth are based in just a few hospitals\, out of reach for most people. \nJoin us to hear how a new service called Northstar looks more closely at a patient’s tumour\, and brings together a panel of expert cancer doctors to suggest options their own doctor might consider\, without them having to change hospitals. \nWhether you’re a patient\, carer\, supporter or professional\, come and find out how this kind of testing could open up more choices for more people. \nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket.

SUMMARY:A Dose of Neuroscience - online session
DESCRIPTION:Understanding how the brain works can be reassuring and empowering. \nThis session offers an accessible introduction to the neuroscience of stress\, emotions and learning. Participants explore how the brain processes experience and how everyday actions influence brain chemistry and behaviour. \nWe look at the role of important neurotransmitters including dopamine\, serotonin\, oxytocin\, endorphins\, acetylcholine and noradrenaline\, and how these systems influence mood\, motivation and attention. \nThe session also introduces neuroplasticity and explains how the brain continually adapts to experience. \nThrough short guided exercises participants experience how shifts in breath\, attention and sensory input can influence brain states and support learning. \n  \nProgramme Participation \nThis workshop is primarily designed for new attendees who would like to learn the core skills of the programme. Previous participants are very welcome to revisit the workshop as a refresher\, and many find returning once a quarter helpful for reinforcing their learning. Weekly Reset sessions run every week and all participants are welcome to attend these regularly – please contact hello@brainstrust.org.uk for more details. Participants may also join the ‘Hypnotherapy for Calmness and Confidence Through Processes’ and ‘A Dose of Neuroscience’ sessions whenever they wish. \n  \nAbout Louise Baker \nLouise Baker MSc is an applied neuroscientist and hypnotherapist who specialises in translating neuroscience into practical wellbeing tools. She holds a Master’s degree in Neuroscience and the Psychology of Mental Health from King’s College London and works alongside brainstrust supporting people living with brain tumours and their carers. \n  \nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket.

SUMMARY:Living with a low grade glioma – online meetup
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an honest and supportive session where we’ll talk about what it’s really like to live with a LGG diagnosis. \n\n\n\n\nLiving with a low grade glioma isn’t straightforward and brings about its own challenges. Not only do you have to live with the symptoms that these tumours can bring (epilepsy has a high prevalence rate) but also the uncertain trajectory of a low grade glioma. \nBy low grade we mean grade 2 tumours\, and those that are transforming to a grade 3. \nJoin us to hear how we all manage the uncertainty of living with a LGG diagnosis. Feel less alone\, better resourced and more able to cope. \n\nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket.

SUMMARY:Art time: a space to express\, connect and belong – online workshop
DESCRIPTION:Join our November session – a gentle space for brain tumour patients and caregivers to express\, connect\, and belong through art. \n\n\n\n\nCome and join us for Art Time – whether you’re a seasoned artist or a complete novice\, this is a gentle two-hour session to explore how painting can become a mindful\, soothing activity. As you focus on the creative process\, you may find stresses and worries begin to fade into the background. \nGrab your art materials – pencils\, paints\, or anything else – and experience how creativity can support wellbeing when living with a brain tumour. \nOur workshop is led by Maddy James\, a qualified tutor and self-taught artist who lives in Cowes on the beautiful Isle of Wight. For the past four years\, Maddy has been teaching art from her studio\, and more recently\, via Zoom. Her approach is not formulaic – you won’t be told to draw a line here and a circle there. Instead\, Maddy gently guides you to discover your own style\, while simply enjoying the process of being creative. \nWhat people say about Art Time… \n“After the class I feel I have achieved something that day and I feel good in myself. It’s handy we can do it on Zoom too. I enjoy showing my family what I’ve created each time. I’m pleased I’m being proactive in finding solutions to assist my rehabilitation and long-term recovery.” \n“When brainstrust set up the Art Group\, I just had to join in! It’s great to get together with people who understand. There’s no pressure\, no expectation\, and no judgement – we’re just free to relax and paint. Maddy guides us through the session’s activities\, we all have a go\, we chat\, we laugh – and we all finish with a painting at the end.” \n“Maddy teaches us in a way that makes it fun – the time passes so quickly. Joining this group has given me something to look forward to each month. Because of my disabilities\, I wouldn’t have been able to attend an in-person class\, so I’m very grateful brainstrust offers these sessions via Zoom.” \n“I think it’s a great thing to promote these sessions – I’ve found them so helpful in boosting my wellbeing.” \n“I’ve never attended an art class before\, so by joining this Zoom class\, I’m gaining new skills. I find the sessions rewarding\, and I’m always surprised to think\, ‘Wow – did I actually produce that?!’ The discussion during the class gives us a chance to chit-chat with people facing similar challenges in life.” \nThis session is open to both brain tumour patients and caregivers. \nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket.

SUMMARY:High grade brain tumour community – online meetup
DESCRIPTION:Living with a high grade (grade 3 or 4) brain tumour can feel isolating. This online group offers a supportive space to those who understand. \n\n\n\n\nThis informal online group is for people living with a high grade (grade 3 or 4) brain tumour diagnosis – and their supporters. \nThere’s no set agenda and no pressure to talk. Just join us for a relaxed space to connect with others who truly understand what you’re going through. Whether you feel like sharing or simply listening\, you’re welcome. \nWe understand that tumour classification can be confusing. Tumours change over time\, and recurrence can bring new challenges. Even non-malignant tumours can be life-altering. Following the World Health Organisation’s reclassification of brain tumours\, we’ve renamed our groups to better reflect the needs of our community. \nIf you’re living with a grade 3 or 4 diagnosis\, this group is for you. And if you’re not sure where you fit – please ask. We’re here to help. \n\nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom. You will receive the Zoom link and Meeting ID with your ticket.

SUMMARY:Neuroscience Informed Hypnotherapy Introduction - online session
DESCRIPTION:Living with a brain tumour\, or supporting someone who is\, can place the brain under sustained pressure. Waiting for results\, navigating treatment decisions and managing uncertainty can trigger cycles of stress\, worry and mental overload. \nThis introductory session explains how hypnosis works through the lens of modern neuroscience. We explore how the brain continually adapts to experience through neuroplasticity and how stress\, anticipation and uncertainty influence attention\, perception and emotional responses. \nParticipants are introduced to practical techniques that combine hypnosis with psycho sensory skills such as breath patterns\, gentle touch and bilateral stimulation. These approaches help the brain move away from persistent threat responses and towards a more flexible and supportive state of thinking. \nThe aim of the session is not simply relaxation\, but understanding how the brain works and learning simple tools that can help manage stress\, support sleep and restore a sense of steadiness during challenging times. \nProgramme Participation \nThis workshop is primarily designed for new attendees who would like to learn the core skills of the programme. Previous participants are very welcome to revisit the workshop as a refresher\, and many find returning once a quarter helpful for reinforcing their learning. Weekly Reset sessions run every week and all participants are welcome to attend these regularly – please contact hello@brainstrust.org.uk for more details. Participants may also join the ‘Hypnotherapy for Calmness and Confidence Through Processes’ and ‘A Dose of Neuroscience’ sessions whenever they wish. \nAbout Louise Baker \nLouise Baker MSc is an applied neuroscientist and hypnotherapist specialising in the neuroscience of stress\, attention and emotional regulation. She holds an MSc in Neuroscience and the Psychology of Mental Health from King’s College London and works with brainstrust supporting individuals and carers living with brain tumours. \nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom.

SUMMARY:brainstrust bereavement community – online meetup
DESCRIPTION:We know that a death caused by a brain tumour is different. You don’t have to carry this alone. \n\n\n\n\nGrief after losing someone to a brain tumour can feel different from other kinds of loss. The changes along the way\, and the journey from diagnosis onwards\, often shape the experience of grief in deeply personal and complex ways — with grief sometimes beginning long before a loved one dies. \nWhether your bereavement is recent or from some time ago\, you are very welcome here. You don’t have to carry this alone. \nThis group will be hosted by Carol and Lowri. It is a safe space to just come and be. \n\n\n  \nPlease be advised this meetup will be held via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Hypnotherapy for calmness and confidence through processes - online session
DESCRIPTION:Face scans and procedures with calmness and confidence \nMedical procedures such as scans\, treatments and hospital visits can trigger strong anticipatory responses in the brain. Even when we understand the purpose of a procedure\, the brain may still respond with fear\, muscle tension and heightened alertness. \nThis session focuses on preparing both mind and body for medical procedures. \nParticipants learn practical techniques using hypnosis\, breathwork and psycho sensory skills that help guide attention and reduce the brain’s stress response. \nThese techniques can be used before appointments and during procedures to help create a greater sense of confidence and steadiness. \nUnderstanding what is happening in the brain during moments of stress often helps people approach procedures with greater clarity and control. \n  \nProgramme Participation \nThis workshop is primarily designed for new attendees who would like to learn the core skills of the programme. Previous participants are very welcome to revisit the workshop as a refresher\, and many find returning once a quarter helpful for reinforcing their learning. Weekly Reset sessions run every week and all participants are welcome to attend these regularly – please contact hello@brainstrust.org.uk for more details.
