About the Bristol Cancer Help Centre
The Bristol Cancer Help Centre was founded 25 years ago in October 1980 by Penny Brohn a woman living with cancer, and her great friend Pat Pilkington MBE to support people living with cancer and those close to them.
It is the UK's first and leading holistic cancer charity that has pioneered and specializes in the world-famous Bristol Approach to cancer care that provides a unique range of physical, emotional and spiritual support to help people to deal with the challenges a cancer diagnosis brings.
The charity offers information and support through a range of therapy courses at the Centre including the Bristol Approach two-day and Bristol Retreat five-day residential courses, offering people affected by cancer complementary therapies, practical advice on nutrition and lifestyle, and stress-reducing self-help techniques.
The Bristol Approach works hand in hand with medical treatment, and is delivered by the charity's experienced teams of doctors, nurses and complementary therapists.
