Brainbow is an NHS service which provides a rehabilitation service for all children and young people with brain tumours in the East of England. It is part of the paediatric oncology and haematology department within Children’s Services
The Brainbow service was founded in 2013 by a unique partnership between independent charities – Anna’s Hope, Camille’s Appeal, Tom’s Trust, and more latterly, Joshua Tarrant Trust – but has been a fully funded NHS service since April 2023.
The service consists of a multi-disciplinary team which includes physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, occupational therapy, clinical psychology, and education. We provide the educational expertise in this team supporting children and young people who are recovering from brain tumours to continue to access education.
The purpose of the Brainbow service is to help children with brain tumours reach their full potential.
