About
The Brain Trust

To advance global mental health by all means possible, including research, support and funding for individuals and organisations which promote mind improving and healing activities and initiatives.

The Brain Trust Charity (BTCH) helps create a Mentally Literate World for poor and vulnerable communities. Mental literacy is about using the brain in the way it was supposed to be used. This means developing key skills, such as problem solving, critical thinking, and creativity.

In particular the Brain Trust Charity is pledged to support memory training, memory power and memory championships , the gateway to creativity and a special concern of the charity’s founder Tony Buzan.
