Brain Trust Charity Event

The Brain Trust charity was founded over thirty years ago by our inspiration, fons et origo, Tony Buzan. In the five years since Tony’s passing we have striven to maintain his memory and his ideals, culminating in the celebration of his life and works at The House of Lords Grand Banqueting Suite on the evening of Monday October 07, 2024. There are a limited number of places for this celebration. Full details will be released soon and tables allocated on a first come, first served basis.

In spite of the Covid Pandemic, our efforts to perpetuate the Buzan name and legacy have included the following from the Brain Trust Charity, and from its officers, affiliates and associates:

Support for other charities

The Brain Trust supports Outside in Pathways which provides museum and gallery experiences on a regular weekly basis for the severely mentally challenged. Also The Mistress Glover Charity which makes bionic limbs for amputee children.

Exceptional Mental Achievement

At the opposite pole of the intellectual spectrum , The Brain Trust has the specific mandate in its charter to support the world Mind Mapping , Speed Reading and Memory championships, all founded by Tony Buzan. The championships ( now in their 33rd consecutive year) are set for December 2024 in Istanbul. As an example of the staggering mental improvement demonstrated by the championships , in 1991 the world record for memorising a pack of cards was over two minutes. Now it has reduced to 12 seconds!!

Publications and technology

Tony Buzan’s biography has been published by Filament press, while the first ever Mind Map software which follows Tony’s ideals has been registered this year in London.

Witness the power of the human brain. Thank you Tony.
