Charity
Brain Tumour Research is the only national charity in the UK solely dedicated to finding a cure for all types of brain tumours, which claim more lives of children and adults under 40 than any other cancer. Despite this, only 1% of the national cancer research funding is allocated to this devastating disease. Their mission is to increase UK investment in brain tumour research to £35 million per year while establishing a network of seven Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence across the UK. 20% of ticket proceeds from this event will go to Brain Tumour Research, and you can also donate directly to them here.
