Description
Penny Brohn UK is the cancer health and wellbeing charity. We help people feel better in mind, body and spirit by offering everybody with cancer a choice of personalised cancer care. All free, safe and backed by research.
Everything we do is designed to support people to live as well as they can with cancer. To give them a sense of control over their health and wellbeing, whatever matters most to them. And we know our approach works. Evidence increasingly shows that supporting physical and emotional resilience can improve the quality of life and clinical outcomes of people living with cancer. But most importantly, our clients tell us this too.
e are all individuals, with our own preferences and needs. Different things matter to each of us, at different times. Our personalised approach offers a whole ‘toolbox’ of ways to feel more informed and supported with cancer in ways that work for you.
Our services are based around six themes, or pillars, each of which is described briefly below and then in more detail on the linked pages. We hope these offer something for everyone, and you can choose to do as little or as much as you want to at a pace that fits you.
In our experience, starting from where you are and finding ways to support yourself that you enjoy, make you feel better and will be able to sustain, is the best place to start. You are the expert in your health, and you know best what you need – but we are here with guidance and support if and when you need it.
Eat well
Our positive approach to diet and nutrition can help you understand the foods and ways of eating that are supportive with cancer, and make simple changes that are practical, affordable and enjoyable.
Rest and relax
Restorative sleep and relaxation are so nourishing for your physical and emotional health and resilience. Our team offer lots of ideas and support to help you rest your body and mind in ways that work for you.
Move more
Physical activity is beneficial for nearly everyone with cancer, before, during and after treatment. Our exercise specialists can help you find ways to move your body that are safe, fun and sustainable, whatever your situation.
Mind and emotions
It’s very normal to experience a whole range of difficult emotions with cancer, but you are not alone. Our one-to-one counselling and group support can help you find ways to cope and feel more yourself again.
Lift your spirits
From enjoying time in nature, to engaging with music, art, Qi Gong and more, we offer uplifting ideas to help you find joyful moments and lift your spirits every day, especially at difficult times.
Feel better
Managing the side effects and symptoms of your cancer and cancer treatment may feel like the most important thing right now. Our support programmes and consultations can provide the personalised advice and support you need.
It can be difficult to know where to begin sometimes, and that is why if you are new to Penny Brohn UK, we invite you to attend our online welcome session. Here you will discover more about the charity and be introduced to our personalised cancer care approach.
