Our corporate partners
We create bold, impactful relationships that are unique and inspiring. Here are just a few of our incredible corporate partners- please get in touch to start your own corporate partnership.
Wickes
Wickes’ Charity of the Year corporate partnership with The Brain Tumour Charity has literally transformed both organisations.
Our Charity of the Year work started in 2023 with plans to raise an ambitious £2 million over 2 years. By collaborating on a programme of engagement, fundraising and awareness across its 230 stores, digital channels and by involving suppliers, customers, business connections, family and friends, Wickes is on target to achieve its £2 million target. By the end of the first year, we have already raised a whopping £1 million to help us defeat brain tumours.
From ultra-marathons and mountain hikes to bake sales, in-store promotions, a series of ‘50p asks’ across the stores and individual challenges; the Wickes team proved themselves to be an absolute power-house of fundraising.
Knowing that research into brain tumours represents just 3% of national spend on cancer, with 34 people being told every day they have a brain tumour, has been the motivation for all stores to truly help the charity both with fundraising and by helping educate and engage our colleagues, customers, friends and family.
Wickes Regional Charity Champion
I’ve spoken to many colleagues throughout my role as Wickes Regional Charity Champion and the engagement is second to none. It is truly inspiring seeing what our full Wickes team achieves and the buzz around key event dates is mind-blowing!
The Majestic Foundation
We are often told that it’s our passion and energy for the cause that gets embedded into the organisation to create a partnership with real meaning and tangible impact.
Majestic Wine and now The Majestic Foundation are one such example and we have been their Charity of the Year charity partner since 2021
Brain tumour treatment, cures and support for those affected is incredibly close to the hearts of a number of the company’s colleagues, many of whom have had personal experience of living with brain tumours themselves, or having friends, families and loved ones affected.
We are delighted that The Majestic Foundation has once again chosen The Brain Tumour Charity to be its Charity of the Year 2024-2025 and we’re looking forward to planning a fun and engagement diary of activities over the coming year and beyond.
Liberty Specialty Markets Charity of the Year
Employees at Liberty Specialty Markets care deeply about the world they operate in. Advancing health and wellbeing is a core part of their Global CSR Framework and The Brain Tumour Charity is perfectly aligned to this ethos, as the UK’s leading brain tumour charity and the world’s biggest funder of research into brain tumours.
Our engagement plan is varied, interesting and inclusive. From Comedy nights to iconic London building stair-climbs, there’s something for every employee to get involved in.
Liberty Speciality Markets have also generously donated funds directly to The Brain Tumour Charity in addition to ensuring an elevated level of employee engagement across all fundraising initiatives.
Winckworth Sherwood Charity of the Year
The Brain Tumour Charity were nominated by staff to be Winckworth Sherwood’s Charity of the Year 2024-2025. Employee health and wellbeing is paramount to the leadership team at Winckworth Sherwood and raising awareness of signs and symptoms to promote early diagnosis and encourage peer-support is integral to this partnership.
To launch the partnership and in addition to a lunch-and-learn session, this incredibly dedicated and energetic team of lawyers based in London, Oxford and Manchester literally hit-the-ground running by planning an incredible SAS selection event in Wales. The Fan Dance is an ultimate test of endurance; this 24 km traverse at altitude with load-bearing kit is a total mind-body challenge. Just one example of how Charity of the Year Partnerships help to build cross-functional teams.
Our Gift In Kind Partnerships
Our partners mean so much more to us than just than their fundraising capability?
We value help in so many other ways: professional skill sets, technical know-how, consultancy capabilities and physical assets such as infrastructure and networks. Budget-relieving gift in kind is so enabling for everyone at The Brain Tumour Charity. Examples include: office space to hold meetings in UK hub locations, holiday homes to provide respite and breaks for young cancer families, tech and tools to optimise operations keeping us agile and legal pro bono.
DLA Piper
A full service Global law firm based in London, DLA Piper LLP have partnered with The Brain Tumour Charity as part of their disability pro bono assistance. They are helping us with special projects across support, HR and Policy in addition to providing use of meeting rooms in their central London HQ.
Boxxe

Working with our IT department they were able to enhance The Charity’s technical abilities to stay lean and promote agile working systems that allow us to stay connected and scale our operations as we provide the best wrap-around care and support to our community of everyone affected by a brain tumour diagnosis.
Tech and tools are an important part of making sure our National Charity keep pace with growth to find better treatments and discover cures so that one day, we will defeat brain tumours.
Transformational Strategic Partnerships
Strategic partnerships are a perfect fit and sustain over the long term. They make sure that The Brain Tumour Charity can continue to provide essential services and support including: specialist diagnostics, clinical care, support lines, research and trials. Aligning over our shared purpose of improving outcomes for people with cancer and supporting individuals at a community-level has powerful social impact.
