New Approaches to Cancer is an organisation that was started by a group of four colleagues, two doctors and two healers back in 1969. These innovators felt it was important to share with as many people as possible the positive experience of using ‘Gentle Therapies’; these, combined with supportive counseling, self help groups and dietary advice could make a real difference to people going through the experience of cancer. Today we are a national registered charity that provides a nationwide information service that is easily accessible and free to all. All our services are free of charge, the Charity is set up to provide a wide range of information on experienced holistic practitioners & clinics nationwide and runs self help groups in Surrey, Sussex, and Middlesex. We organise talks and healthy living demonstrations, run regular classes in holistic therapy to support the cancer patient such as Relaxation and Visualisation Therapies, Yoga, Nutrition, Flower Remedies, Life-Coaching etc,. – And, in the spirit of prevention, invite local medical practitioners and nurses to attend as well as patient’s families and friends. The Charity offers practical and financial help in all areas of complementary therapy. Each patient is helped according to individual need. We fund holistic treatments and provide ongoing support by giving appropriate professional attention through our network of offices. Helpers are available to give practical direction in all areas of complementary cancer patient care and we carry out home visits, supply self-help tools such as juicers, books and tapes. We send out free information packs and send out informative newsletters quarterly, make educational DVD’s and maintain an extensive Website. Working alongside conventional treatment, our aim is to encourage a sustainable and complementary way of living which will lower the risks of cancer and help those already diagnosed.
