Brain tumours strike without warning, often requiring urgent, complex surgery and long, emotional recoveries — yet support for patients beyond the operating theatre is often overlooked.
Our charity supports the Atkinson Morley Wing at St George’s Hospital by fundraising for neurosurgical equipment and maintaining the McKissock Ward and Neuro ICU Roof Gardens.
The John King Brain Tumour Foundation charity works with a simple vision: to improve outcomes for adult and paediatric patients with brain diseases and disorders. Our mission is to make a tangible difference by fundraising to encourage advanced treatments and create healing hospital gardens which offer the opportunity to have a restful space for critical care patients, carers and loved ones who are all recovering from the impact of extremely difficult and traumatic circumstances.
