British milliner Piers Atkinson has teamed up with charity Brain Tumour Research to design a new brooch to help raise money for the charity's Wear A Hat Day, taking place on March 31 as part of Brain Tumour Awareness month.

Atkinson commented 'Having learned more about this devastating disease and the need for increased research to get closer to a cure, I am so pleased to have contributed in this way. I hope everyone who wears this brooch enjoys the comments of friends and strangers and is happy to explain with pride that they wear it to support Brain Tumour Research'.
