TOM’S TRUST

Tom’s Trust is the UK’s only charity dedicated to providing mental health support to children and young people, with brain and central nervous system tumours, and their families. We believe that every child and young person with a brain tumour should have access to the mental health support that they need, as well as their loved ones.

Our services started at Addenbrooke’s Hospital, Cambridge and our Tom’s Trust clinical psychologists now support hundreds of children and young people and thousands of family members, within hospitals in the East, North-East, North-West, and Thames Valley; helping them from diagnosis, through brutal treatment and as they return to life at home. We also provide compassionate support to families facing the heart-breaking reality of their child dying from this devastating disease.

Our clinical psychologists carry out cognitive, psychological, and emotional assessments and the results from this help to form a pathway of care and provide a benchmark for any future progress or decline. Also offered is access to one-to-one support, school liaison reintegration, whole-family support, and group counselling sessions.
