We know that being a caregiver for someone with a brain tumour can be lonely and isolating. Speaking with others who understand and are in a similar situation can be a vital part of feeling better connected and part of a community.
Peer support
We know there is great value in connecting with others one to one. This is why we have our Peer Support service. You may have a specific question about caring for someone with a brain tumour, or you may just want to speak to someone who understands.

Handle With Care - a memoir by Rochelle Bugg
The book in the authors words:
Whether it’s a quote that clicks, a practical tip that comes in handy, or a story that strikes a chord, my hope is that by reading this book, what you are/have been/are about to go through is a little less painful, or at least a little less lonely.
Come and chat – no agendas. Just pop in to say hello! Fortnightly on Thursdays, 1pm-2pm.
We know that when someone you love is diagnosed with a brain tumour, things can quickly spiral and change like the tide. Any sense of control that you may have once had over daily life can disappear and become replaced by feeling anxious, uncertain and overwhelmed.
We regularly hold events for Carers. Check out our calendar of support events here.
Created for brain tumour patients and caregivers, the brain tumour hub is an easy to navigate database of verified brain tumour support resources that have proven valuable to others.
