Situation
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and young adults, killing more children and adults under 40 than any other cancer. Yet only 3.2% of over £700 million invested in UK cancer research funding in 2019 was spent on brain tumours. We need to ensure funding is available for ground-breaking research. Increasing our knowledge of brain tumours means we can continue to provide the highest level of support, and increase our efforts to find better, faster, more effective treatments.
Solution
As the leading funder of brain tumour research in the UK, we are committed to finding new treatments, offering the highest level of support and driving urgent change. Our new research strategy for 2022-2027, ‘Accelerating a Cure’, demonstrates our ongoing commitment to funding innovative research projects, led by world-class researchers. The research we fund will equip our support team with the latest knowledge, ensuring we can continue to help every single person affected by a brain tumour.
