Support and Information Line

Our Support and Information line offers a confidential space for you to ask questions. Our team can provide a listening ear, help you find information and identify other useful services.

Receiving a brain tumour diagnosis, or learning of a loved one’s diagnosis, is a life-changing event that can lead to lots of questions. We know that it is not always easy to ask these of your friends or family and it can be difficult to access your healthcare team at the exact moment a question comes to mind.

Our Support and Information Line offers a way to ask questions or raise concerns about a diagnosis, treatments, including access to clinical trials, how a brain tumour may affect daily life and how you can support a loved one. Our support team can also point you in the direction of other services when appropriate.
