Here’s what I found about Charlotte’s brain tumour charity and its recent BBC coverage:
🧩 Charlotte’s BAG Charity (UK)

What it is: A charity set up by Mrs Eades in memory of her daughter Charlotte, who died in 2016 at age 19 from glioblastoma—a rare and aggressive form of brain cancer (cncs.co.uk).
-
Fundraising impact: The charity has raised around £300,000, funding critical research at King’s College Hospital in London.

Annual efforts: Staff from Cardinal Newman Catholic School participate in an annual 60‑mile walk from King’s College London back to the school to raise awareness and funds (cncs.co.uk).
📺 Recent BBC Feature

BBC South appearance: Late February, Mrs Eades was interviewed on BBC South, highlighting the work of Charlotte’s BAG and the positive impact it's had in funding vital brain tumour research (cncs.co.uk).
