**Penny Brohn UK has come up with a new idea to raise funds – offering office space
to rent at its West Country** **headquarters. **

Space is being offered at Ham Green House in Pill, near Bristol, alongside the headquarters
of the charity, which offers practical and emotional support to people with cancer.

The grounds and gardens are used by cancer patients and their families but now the
charity, started by Bristol woman Penny Brohn in 1979 with her friend Pat Pilkington
after being diagnosed with breast cancer, is letting out office space with car parking.
