Penny Brohn is one of the forefront charities when it comes to helping people deal with cancer. The organisation has been running since 1979 and has been helping people come to terms with cancer through care and understanding. They have raised so much money to help those come to terms with their illness and have changed so many people's lives.
Its Bristol Whole Life Approach supports people with cancer and close supporters to participate in their health and wellbeing, before, during or after treatment.
The charity explores areas such as diet, exercise, relationships and managing stress, through free courses, one-to-one therapies, groups, a Treatment Support Clinic and national helpline.
Penny Brohn corporate partnerships manager Lewis Hay added: “We were amazed to hear about Bluepoppy’s fundraising drive. We rely on donations, so it’s a great start to a year in which we must raise over £2.5 million to reach the thousands of people locally and nationally needing our life-changing support.”
