Penny Brohn UK is a UK cancer health and wellbeing charity dedicated to helping adults with any type of cancer live better in mind, body and spirit. With more than 40 years of experience, the charity offers free, evidence-informed support that sits alongside conventional medical care and is designed to improve quality of life throughout the cancer journey — from diagnosis, through treatment, to life beyond or with advanced illness.

The charity’s approach is rooted in personalised, holistic care. Penny Brohn UK empowers individuals to make informed choices about their health and wellbeing by providing a “toolbox” of support options that can be tailored to each person’s needs. These include online and in-person programmes, group sessions, one-to-one consultations with healthcare professionals, wellbeing resources and practical self-care tools.

Central to its services is the Treatment Support Programme, a structured, multi-disciplinary course led by medical and nursing specialists that helps people prepare for, manage and recover from the physical, emotional and psychological challenges of cancer treatment. Participants explore topics such as managing stress, maintaining physical activity, eating well and building resilience, often alongside others facing similar experiences.

In addition to structured programmes, Penny Brohn UK offers regular online sessions, from relaxation classes to movement and nutrition workshops, as well as personal consultations with integrative doctors, counsellors, therapists, and exercise and nutritional specialists. These services are designed to address the wide-ranging impacts of cancer and its treatment, helping individuals cope with symptoms, reduce treatment side effects and improve overall wellbeing.

The charity also produces a wealth of freely accessible resources, including guides on nutrition, stress management, physical activity and emotional wellbeing, enabling individuals and their supporters to build resilience, feel more in control of their health and connect with a supportive community.

All Penny Brohn UK services are offered at no cost to adults affected by cancer in the UK, reflecting its commitment to accessibility, compassion and personalised care.
