Today the charity helps thousands of people every year navigate complex care with a focus on support and quality of life. The charity fills the chasm between clinical care and life after a diagnosis. The charity helps people understand and access the novel and emerging treatments landscape. brainstrust exists to ensure people are coached so that they are confident, connected, resourced and resilient on their journey following a brain tumour diagnosis. Every interaction is personalised and tailored, acknowledging that everyone’s disease trajectory, personal circumstances and goals are different.
