Sign up for Cake and a CuppaCake and a Cuppa is a relaxed, flexible fundraiser you can make your own. Whether it’s a cosy coffee with friends, an afternoon tea at work, or a community bake sale, every Cake and a Cuppa brings people together for something that truly matters.
Host at home, in the workplace, at school, or even online — there’s no set date, no pressure, and no rules about how fancy it needs to be. Just cake, a cuppa, and a shared purpose.
Every Cake and a Cuppa helps fund vital support for people affected by brain tumours — at a time when life can feel frightening, uncertain, and overwhelming.

Did you know? On average, 30 people are diagnosed with a brain tumour every day in the UK.
By hosting a Cake and a Cuppa, you’re helping ensure that support is there — not just at diagnosis, but through every step of the journey.
“I honestly don’t know what I’d do without this charity. The support I get is amazing — I feel like you’re the only ones really looking out for me and my wellbeing.”
— Annie
