Our impact
Impact Report
At the Tessa Jowell Foundation, we strive to continue Tessa’s legacy to improve people's lives through more compassionate, inclusive and equitable systems in public health and early childhood development
This report highlights the impact of our work over the past year: from funding programmes that are improving hospital services to advocating for equitable access to world-class care. Every initiative, every partnership, and every fundraising event, drives progress toward our goal: transforming outcomes for patients and families affected by brain cancer and creating change in children's formative years.
Featured Story
Angel Mums
The Angel Mums are a group of extraordinary women who each faced the unimaginable loss of a child to a brain tumour. Out of their heartbreak, they found strength, purpose, and unity - channelling their love into action to create change for other families.
Together, the Angel Mums have raised vital funds for the Tessa Jowell Centres of Excellence for Children - a programme dedicated to transforming the care and treatment of children diagnosed with brain tumours across the UK.
