Our Patron and Ambassadors play their part in highlighting the profile of the charity, fundraising for us and raising awareness of our services ensuring we can help people living with cancer.
We are very grateful for the unique contribution made by our Patron and Ambassadors who have dedicated their time to promote our work and help us raise the vital funds that we need to provide our services.

His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales , became our Royal Patron in 1997. He has been a steadfast supporter and figurehead for over 35 years, having opened the original Bristol Cancer Help Centre in 1983.
“I have always admired the charity’s work to provide physical, emotional and spiritual support to people with cancer and their loved ones. When it comes to compassion in healing, the Bristol Whole Life Approach is second to none.”
