welcome to the website of Yorkshire’s leading brain tumour charity
Launch of the research labThank you for visiting the Brain Tumour Research and Support across Yorkshire (BTRS) website. I hope that you will find the information here that you need. If not, please contact Carol Robertson who will help you further.

Brain Tumour Research and Support across Yorkshire aims to provide a network of support across Yorkshire for brain tumour patients and their families.

In 2003 Andrea’s Gift registered as a charity with the sole aim of funding research and providing improved patient support for anyone affected by a brain tumour in Yorkshire. The charity changed its name from Andrea's Gift to BTRS in 2011 as the charity trustees believed this change would help us to connect more easily with patients and their families, medics and nurses in Yorkshire.

2011 saw the charity open Yorkshire’s first brain tumour research lab, based at the Leeds Institute for Molecular Medicine, supporting a high-level research team who work on long-term paediatric and adult brain tumour research projects. The project is co-funded with children's cancer charity Candlelighters.

Nationally, less than 1% of all the funds raised for research into cancer is devoted to brain tumour research, yet brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of our children and more people under the age of 40 die from brain tumours than from any other cancer.

If you or anyone you know is affected by a brain tumour, please get in touch.
