Host For Hope: Help feed vital research- Host a great gathering

Welcome to "Host For Hope" your fun summer party planner to fundraise for brain tumour research.

Host for hope encourages people to get together for food and drink whilst supporting a fantastic cause. It`s a great opportunity to invite your friends, family or work colleagues to a social gathering whilst asking them to bring a fiver(or more) to help fund desperately needed research into this devastating disease.

Weather it`s £5 for a coffee morning or £50 a head for a black tie dinner and dance, all funds raised go to support our sustainable and continuous scientific research into finding th causes of and establishng better treatment for brain tumours at our centres of excellence.

To help you plan a brilliant event, we`ve put together some great downloadable fundraising materials for you including posters,recipes, menu card, place setting, invitations and press templates.We have a range of merchandise materials including pin badges,wristbands,baseball caps and t-shirts that can be sold during your event as well. And you could also hold a raffle or an auction for example, and invite a local business to sponsor the event or donate prizes. Host for hope is a fun way of increasing awareness and raising money for an often overlooked form of cancer.

So; put a date in your diary, invite some guest and develop your plans to Host for hope- from baking cakes for youe coffee morning to getting out the recipe books for your dinner party!

We are the only national charity in the uk dedicated to putting 100% of the funds we raise from our campaigns into supporting sustainable and continuous scientific research into brain tumour at our centres of excellence. Our  mission is to raise £7m a year to fund seven centres around the uk. Brain tumours have recieves less than 1% of national cancer research spending in the uk over the last 10 years. We think this is shocking-brain tumours are the biggest cancer killer of children and adults under the age of 40 in the uk. Thats why we need your help:why we all need to pull together and help find a cure.And why not have some fun at the same time!

Don`t forget, your support will brng hope to the thousands of individuals with a brain tumour in the uk each year, as well as their famlies and friends.
