Welcome to BT Buddies

Founded in March 2009 Brain Tumour Buddies is a national charity committed to providing information and support to anyone affected by a high grade brain tumour in the UK.

Our website provides in-depth, accurate and up-to -date information on all aspects of dealing with a brain tumour and has been compiled from a wide range of sources. If you can't find the information you are looking for please contact us and we will do our best to help.

We also offer support to patients, carers, relatives and friends in a variety of ways including in our forum, via email and on our Facebook and Twitter pages.

BT Buddies is able to continue providing information and support thanks to kind donations and generous fundraisers. Funds raised for BT Buddies also go towards funding research into high grade brain tumours.

If you, or someone you know, is interested in fundraising for BT Buddies you can contact us at fundraising@btbuddies.org.uk or call 0845 459 4101. We will also be launching a new section on the BT Buddies website in the next couple of weeks which will include information on how you can raise funds for BT Buddies, resources to help with your fundraising and suggestions for events you can take part in.

Update on Tom K

We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of our friend and BT Buddy, Tom Kroeck.

Tom shared his story on our website and corresponded with many patients, their families and carers over the years and we know he brought great comfort to all who got in touch with him.

Tom's tumour recurred in May 2011 and after a battle, due to side effects of his last round of treatment, he sadly passed away on 4th May 2012.

We would like to extend our deepest condolences to Tom's wife, Claudia, and their children Katie and Jamie as well as all those who knew and loved Tom. He was a very special guy and we at BT Buddies will always remember him.
