Penny Brohn is one of the forefront charities when it comes to helping people deal with cancer. The Bristol-based organisation has been running since 1979 and has been helping people come to terms with cancer through care and understanding.
Everything they do is based on evidence. Both our own rigorous service evaluation and over 35 years’ experience of working with thousands of people living with cancer. Their Bristol Whole Life Approach is underpinned by science and the most recent research into the impact of lifestyle, for people living with cancer.
They make sure they keep up-to-date with the latest research findings. Our Healthy Eating Guidelines, for example, are informed by the latest research relating to nutrition and cancer, including the landmark World Cancer Research Fund report.
