Success Charity

Hello, we are Success Charity

We are the good news charity that exists to help you on your recovery journey

What We Do

We exist to support children and young people recovering from a brain tumour, and to stand alongside the families who travel that journey with them.

A childhood brain tumour is not only a medical crisis; it is a life-altering event.

Even when treatment is successful, the after-effects can be complex, long-lasting and often poorly understood.

Success was founded to change that — to provide practical, emotional and social support, and to advocate for the lifelong care every survivor deserves.

Supporting Survivors and Families

We help children and young people rebuild skills, confidence and independence through a blend of specialist programmes.

Our Digital Therapy Programme provides accessible rehabilitation tools that make a lasting difference.

Our peer-to-peer mentoring programme connects survivors with trained volunteer mentors who understand the challenges of life after treatment, providing encouragement, guidance and a reassuring sense of community.

Success also brings families together through events that create joy, connection and shared experience.

From family days and picnics to our annual Christmas Carol Concert, we offer safe, supported spaces where survivors, siblings and parents can meet others who understand their journey.

Information, Advocacy and Education

We provide clear, trustworthy information for parents and young people, helping them navigate medical, educational and emotional challenges.

We work with clinicians, teachers and allied professionals to improve understanding of the late effects of treatment, ensuring survivors receive appropriate support at school, in further education and in early employment.

Success advocates nationally for improved long-term care pathways.

We use the lived experience of our community to highlight gaps in support and push for services that recognise recovery as a lifelong process, not a short-term event.

Building Community and Reducing Isolation

Brain tumour recovery can be isolating. Many survivors experience fatigue, cognitive changes, friendships disrupted by lengthy treatment, and difficulties returning to school or social life.

Through our online groups, workshops and in-person meet-ups, we create a strong, supportive community where young people feel understood and valued.

Families also benefit from connecting with each other, sharing practical advice and emotional support.

Parents often tell us that Success is the first place where they feel truly heard.

Driving Change and Celebrating Hope

Our work is grounded in the belief that every child deserves not just to survive, but to thrive.

We give survivors the tools they need to navigate their futures with confidence, and we celebrate their achievements — large and small — as steps towards renewed independence and joy.

Success Charity is growing rapidly, driven by the needs of our community and the generosity of our supporters.

Everything we do brings us closer to our vision: a world where every childhood brain tumour survivor receives the lifelong care, recognition and opportunities they deserve.
