Matt Howarth, our Corporate Development Manager, said: “With one in three people knowing someone affected by this devastating disease, we are truly grateful to all those organisations who work with us to make a real difference for the future. Your support is invaluable in helping us get closer to our vision of a cure for all types of brain tumours.

“Every company is different and we’re proud of our consultative approach to build meaningful partnerships and maximise opportunities to inspire and engage your staff in something that really will make a difference in the future. Whatever the size of your organisation and whatever your job role, we’d love to hear from you.”

Be inspired by some of our current partners:

Award-winning staycations provider Verdant Leisure named Brain Tumour Research as its new charity partner with an ambition to raise £50,000 over 12 months. The company kicked off its support by taking part in Wear A Hat Day and has plans for an exciting year of fundraising.

Corporate support often arises from personal connections to the disease. Insurance company Your Choice Cover hopes to raise £20,000 for Brain Tumour Research inspired by one of its colleagues, James Drew, who is engaged to the daughter of brain tumour patient Mark Poulton.

James said: “I’m delighted that, together with my work colleagues, we will be doing something to help people like Mark.”

West Midlands Trains Ltd has a target to reach £50,000 including by raising funds at train stations and the organisation’s ‘Pennies from Heaven’ scheme, as well as challenges. The two-year partnership is inspired by a colleague’s connection to the disease.

Sports car team RACE LAB is raising awareness by proudly displaying our logo on the bonnet and rear wing plates of its 2023 racing cars. Driver Iain Campbell has a connection to the disease through the Treharne family, who lost their son Ethan to a glioblastoma (GBM) in 2021, aged 17.
