Who Are Penny Brohn UK?
Penny Brohn UK is a national cancer charity based outside Bristol. They provide free care and support to anyone affected by cancer, before, during and after treatment. Their approach aims to help people feel more emotionally and physically resilient, for better quality of life and to help improve outcomes. Penny Brohn UK focuses on wellbeing, mindfulness and nutrition with a team of cancer support experts, including doctors, nutritionists, counsellors and exercise therapists.
The history of Penny Brohn UK
Our story began in 1979 when our founder, Penny Brohn, was diagnosed with breast cancer. Penny, who grew up in Bristol, knew instinctively that she needed more than just care and treatment for her body. She recognised that she needed to care equally for her, “mind, spirit, emotions, heart and soul”. With her close friend Pat Pilkington, she set out to find what she was looking for and set up the Bristol Cancer help centre which later became Penny Brohn UK.
What support does Penny Brohn offer?
Our package of both online and in person complementary integrated care includes treatment support clinics, GP consultations, exercise and nutritional therapy, one-to-one counselling, guided meditation groups, cookery workshops, yoga, dance classes and much more. We are committed to being there for our clients throughout their life with cancer. In 2022, Penny Brohn UK directly supported 15,187 people with cancer, with 9,057 attendees accessing the live virtual support sessions.
“Penny Brohn is a holding and supportive space that has helped me continue to lead my life in the best way I can.”
