About the Evening

When we talk about “reaching for the stars”, it’s easy to think about ambition in terms of projects, programmes, or work. But at brainstrust, everything we do is rooted in something far more powerful, community.

For the past 20 years, that spirit has been driven by people living with a brain tumour, alongside the families, friends, clinicians, and supporters who stand with them. It’s a community that has challenged the status quo and said, “this isn’t good enough, we can do better.”

brainstrust hasn’t shaped support alone. It has been shaped by you, by people asking better questions, sharing experiences, and refusing to accept “good enough”.

From a small, determined family supporting one person in 2006, to a community reaching thousands today, everything we’ve built has come from listening, learning, and working together.



Why This Event Matters

It feels only fitting that we mark this milestone at the National Space Centre in Leicester, a place that reflects ambition, possibility, and looking beyond what’s known.

This evening will be a chance to:

  • Celebrate how far this community has come
  • Hear powerful, real-life stories
  • Reflect on 20 years of impact
  • Look ahead to what the next 20 years could achieve

Most importantly, it’s a chance to come together, to recognise what’s been built, and to be part of what comes next.
