Friends of O.S.C.A.R was set up as a national charity in November 2005 and is currently based in Oxfordshire. We developed from a a well established charity called O.S.C.A.R which was set up in 1995 to help children and families through the traumatic experience.
O.S.C.A.R was first set up by a group of healthcare professionals in the Oxford NHS trust who found there was a need to support families who had a child diagnosed with brain or spinal tumour.
As the charity has grown, the staff and familes felt they would like to offer the same level of support to families throughout the UK.
Friends of O.S.C.A.R is the result.
Every year in the United Kingdom an average of 600 children are diagnosed with brain or spinal tumour. The diagnosis of a brain or spinal tumour, (or any tumour), in your child is devastating.
It is hoped that Friends of O.S.C.A.R can help to support these families.
