If you're aged 16-30 and living with, or beyond, a brain tumour diagnosis, join us for our Online Meet Up on Saturday 1st June for some friendly chats and fun group games.
Please book your place below – you’ll need a link and a password to join which will be emailed to you before the event.
What should I expect?
Whether you’ve been to one of our meets ups before or whether you’re a complete newbie, everyone is welcome! We're an informal and friendly bunch (promise) and our online meet ups are a safe space to get to know new people with similar experiences and stay connected during what for many people is a really isolating time.
We understand that new situations can sometimes feel daunting, so these sessions will run in two parts – an online game/activity in the first hour, followed by a short break (enough time to get a cuppa), if you want to stay on and chat, there’s optional time at the end for this but no pressure either - so you can do what’s right for you.
Where are we meeting?
We’ll be meeting online using Zoom a video meeting platform, don’t worry if you’ve never used Zoom before, we’ll send you full, easy to follow instructions to get you started and it’s completely free!
Please don’t worry about…Not wanting to be on video, you can connect using just audio so no one can see you but you can still take part.
You’ve never used Zoom before – we’ll send you all the instructions you need and if you get stuck we’ll be on hand to help, we can even do a test Zoom chat before the event if you would find it helpful!
“I won’t be very good at…” – This is a relaxed space of supportive peers where it’s not the winning but the taking part (and having fun) that counts.
Not making friends/anxiety – we guarantee you will. Everyone is in a similar boat and understands your situation so you’re sure to make friends. Plus, our friendly team are there to help too.
I’m not very confident in new situations – don’t worry, you can sit back and watch or listen, if you would prefer or dip in and out depending on what feels right for you.
Please note: All attendees must be aged 16 and above.
