Ongoing Support, Care, Awareness and Research
OSCAR’s Paediatric Brain Tumour Charity exists to support and care for children facing brain tumours and their families, to raise awareness of children’s brain tumours and to fund new research to drive down diagnosis time, increase survival rate and improve children’s quality of life during and after treatment.
It was set up in memory of nine-year-old Oscar Hughes from York but exists to serve any child, anywhere in the country having to deal with life with a brain tumour.
We do what we can because we want to make a difference: we don’t want any more children to go through what Oscar went through.
We Are Here To Support You
Our charity was started by a family and it is important to us that families are supported. Whether your child has symptoms, has been diagnosed, is going through treatment, is surviving with a brain tumour or otherwise, then please get in touch. We will try to help in whatever way we can.
Our website offers information about paediatric brain tumours – the types, the treatments and what to expect. We can send Booster Boxes for your children, can discuss the types of support your family needs, or we are just here for you to talk to or message.

Facts & Quotes
Children Need Your Help
Brain tumours are the biggest cancer killers in children, a fact many people are unaware of.
When we lose more young people to brain tumours than to any other cancer, and when brain tumour patients are left with a reduced quality of life, this is just not good enough.
But you can help us change this. Together, we can change lives.
