The John King Brain Tumour Foundation
We are a registered charity supporting the Atkinson Morley Wing of St George’s Hospital. We fundraise for neurosurgical equipment, the McKissock Ward Roof Garden which the foundation maintains and also the Neuro ICU Roof Garden which is planned to be open in 2025.
Our charity works with a simple vision: to improve outcomes for adult and paediatric patients with brain diseases and disorders.
Our mission is to make a tangible difference by fundraising to encourage advanced treatments and create healing hospital gardens which offer the opportunity to have a restful space for critical care patients, carers and loved ones who are all recovering from the impact of extremely difficult and traumatic circumstances.
