We provide mental health support to children with brain tumours
Story
Brain Tumours destroy the lives of both children and their families. Tom’s Trust exists solely to provide clinical psychological support for these children and their families.
Kids that survive the treatment for brain tumours are left with profound physical and mental obstacles for the rest of their lives. NHS funding for mental rehab for children with brain tumours is literally non-existent. When Tom died we made the decision to fill that immense gap in whatever way we could.
Tom’s Trust’s is going national. Having successfully introduced the service offered by our Clinical Psychologists at Addenbrookes we are now launching in Newcastle. Our aim is simple - to help children and their families understand the illness and priovide a vital pre treatment benchmark for the team to ensure that survivors can achieve their full potential.
Tom’s Trust’s vital work is entirely funded by your generosity and it really does make a difference to so many children’s futures.

Our clinical psychologists support children with brain tumours and their families from diagnosis, throughout treatment and thereafter, so they can reach their full potential and live their best lives.
