2 minutes on... brain tumour research ⏱️
Thanks to your support, we've given £1.5 million to help fight brain tumours.
The grant will create a clinical platform for Professor Silvia Marino to translate her successful basic science research to patients in Barts Health NHS Trust.
... Working alongside clinicians in the Trust, Professor Marino's research will mean that patients with brain tumours will have better access to experimental treatments and researchers will have more brain tumour samples to study.

Thanks to your support we've been able to achieve some amazing things in 2018.
We're so grateful to all of you who've donated, fundraised and helped to spread the word about our work.
Here's to a fantastic 2019, where we'll be working with staff and researchers at Barts Health NHS Trust and Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry to provide even better healthcare in our community and beyond 💜

Wishing all of our supporters a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy 2019! 💜

Spending Christmas in hospital can destroy the magic for children like Tilly. Staff do an amazing job with decorations, special guests and parties but you can help to spread even more festive joy ✨
Our Greatest Gift appeal is raising money for staff on the Children's and Older People's wards. We want to make sure that every patient has a gift to open on Christmas Day and anything we raise that's over and above what's needed for Christmas will help staff provide amazing care throughout the year.

Christmas should be an exciting time for children, but spending the festive period in hospital could take the magic away for patients like Liam (joined by his sister Maddison).
