Intelligent, influential, and focused Trustees wanted for game-changing yet embracing charity
A powerful campaigning organisation, Brain Tumour Research is the leading voice of the brain tumour community in the UK. Unique and much needed, we are the only national charity focused on finding a cure for all types of brain tumours. Our work focuses on campaigning to increase the national investment in research into brain tumours to £35 million per year, while fundraising to create a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of Excellence, across the UK. Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002. All of us at Brain Tumour Research are passionate about finding a cure for this devastating disease.

Appointment is for a 3-year term with the potential to serve 2 additional terms.
The Skills and Experience we are looking for
