Organise Your Own Event
In addition to raising funds, events also create awareness about the Jersey Brain Tumour Charity and the services we can provide.
Anything from a small activity to a large event creates awareness, raises critical funds, and makes new friends.
Awareness Activities
Educating people about the many forms of brain tumours is an important part of the Jersey Brain Tumour Charity’s mission. Throughout the year, friends of JBTC help patients and families learn about the educational and resource information JBTC can provide. Some volunteers distribute JBTC leaflets to the local library, General Hospital, clinics, doctor and medical centres and other appropriate public places.
