Mutual benefits: Becoming a partner organisation with the Brain and Spine Foundation

12 January 2011

Do you represent a neurological charity, support group, or perhaps a hospital PALS department? If so, your organisation could benefit from becoming a partner with the Brain and Spine Foundation. It's free; you will receive free patient information booklets; and the partnership is flexible and can be tailored to the needs of your organisation.

Although the Foundation handles 50,000 requests for information every year through our website and our Helpline, we know that there are potential service users who may benefit from our information services but who are not yet aware of them. Working with partner organisations, including charities, hospital PALS departments and information centres and others, we hope to reach people who may not have access to the internet, or have not been directed to our helpline services by their hospital or GP.

Benefits to your organisation


Perhaps you are a small support group in need of publicity? We can get the word out there, to your potential service users, raising your profile through our website and email newsletter.

Would you like to influence medical literature on a particular neurological condition in which you have expertise? You could give valuable input on our patient information booklets.

Two organisations, Cavernoma Alliance UK and the Spinal Cord Tumour Forum, explain how working in partnership has helped them in a new feature, Why become a partner organisation?
