We offer practical and emotional support to individuals affected by brain and spine problems, their carers and family
The Brain & Spine Foundation is the only UK-wide charity providing professional support and expert information for all 600+ neurological conditions. If you are struggling with painful symptoms and don’t know where to turn, we offer practical guidance and emotional reassurance. If you need help understanding complex medical information, we provide clarity. If you just need to talk, we listen and understand. Your needs may change over the years, and we are here for the entire journey - the good days and the bad.
Asking for help is not always easy. You may have already experienced stigma when trying to talk to others. Our free, national Helpline is run by neuroscience-trained nurses who provide a trusted and safe space where you can seek professional insight and emotional support.
Our online peer support programmes offer a safe and welcoming space where you can discuss your reality, share advice, and offer mutual support.
We produce high-quality health information so you know what to expect when seeing your consultant or clinician. It also helps you, and your family, to understand the symptoms and diagnosis, and to participate in shared decision making about treatments.
