About Us

Penny Brohn UK is the only UK charity specialising in an integrated whole person approach to cancer, known as the Bristol Whole Life Approach.

The Bristol Whole Life Approach recognises that someone with cancer needs more than medicine and provides a powerful combination of physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual support that is designed to help anyone affected by cancer at any stage of the disease. Working with the NHS and alongside standard medical treatment, The Bristol Whole Life Approach helps people to help themselves and reclaim control of their health and wellbeing.
