On Tuesday 10 May 2011, Prince Charles hosted a lunch reception at the Orchard Room of Highgrove House, for Penny Brohn Cancer Care 30th anniversary celebrations.
As long term Penny Brohn supporters, Green People were invited to attend. Sue, Ian, Charlotte and Sven Erik all enjoyed a guided tour of the gardens.
We are proud to have raised £60k for the organisation over the years, as well as supplying personal care shampoos and shower gels for the rooms, and natural organic gifts for fundraising events.
As our many customers are aware, Charlotte Vøhtz founded the brand in 1997 to create natural products for her daughter Sandra, who suffered from severe eczema and allergies. Charlotte says;
'As soon as the business took off, we started give 10% of net profit away', she continues; 'We chose Penny Brohn Cancer Care because of the complementary, whole-person system of care they deliver - ‘The Bristol Approach’.Sue Losson works in Sales and Marketing, and she notes that
It transforms the lives of people living with cancer through a unique combination of physical, emotional and spiritual support, with tools like complementary therapies, lifestyle information and self-help techniques. We have been raising funds since 2006, and hope that this will continue for many more years ...'
‘Cancer sufferers are advised to avoid chemicals in their diet, but they are not always aware that the toiletries they are using are full of toxins which should be eliminated from their skin care regime aswell’.
Green People only use - 100% gentle, 100% vegetarian, 100% cruelty-free ingredients. Certified Organic plant oils, herbal infusions, essential oils and fair trade ingredients. We don’t use - Sodium lauryl/laureth sulphate, Parabens, Lanolin, Phthalates, Propylene glycol, Synthetic fragrances, Irritating emulsifiers, PABA-sunscreen, Petrochemicals, Colourants, DEA, TEA, PEG’s or Urea.
We donate 30p to Penny Brohn Cancer Care from the sale of these 8 personal care products; Aloe Hand & Body Lotion, Sun SPF 15, Aftersun, Self Tan, (on offer right now), No Scent - Cleanse, and Hand & Body Lotion, plus Rosemary Deodorant.
You can also help people living with cancer, and make your own donations to support care givers and family members. The Prince of Wales summed it all up perfectly when he said;
“When it comes to compassion in healing, Penny Brohn Cancer Care’s work is second to none.”
