Pants Cancer Charity, Waterside House, Penryn, Cornwall, TR10 8BE, UK
Pants Cancers is a registered charity raising awareness of cancers that affect
the ‘pants’ area, whilst funding our CancerRehab Centre in Falmouth, Cornwall.
We have a huge Hub and a shop in town.
Pants were founded by Jeannette Preston a womb cancer survivor of 13 years, to raise awareness
and prevent deaths. Since opening some amazing charity shops in Falmouth stocking treasures from
Shabby Chic to fantastic clothes, so many people have asked to be included in this work and now we
cover all pants area cancers. Pants have had Eden and Falmouth rocking for Pants and the gynae
team appearing in the first calendar in their pants and many other events to attract attention for this cause.

Steve has for several years worked in co-ordination with Cornwall Hospital Treliske in enabling a facility for those who have undergone cancer treatment. His diligence, and organisation has been second to none, and has adopted a sympathetic approach to fitness. He does not push, but advises the best fitness tasks suitable. All of this he does with a cheerful approach, and concern.
Ian, Prostate Cancer
I had a radical prostatectomy a few years ago, and since then have undergone a six week course of radiotherapy and investigations re. bladder problems. I’ve been attending the gym twice a week for nearly two years now, and the benefits are many. Improvements in my physical fitness are definitely noticeable with improvements in muscle tone and some loss of weight. I am sure this has assisted significantly in my post-operative recuperation and certainly motivates me to keep going. The supervision and advice from Steve Winnan really helps in developing an individual exercise regime which in my case has gradually increased in scope. One of the unexpected benefits has been the growth of friendships amongst the regular gym members – most of whom are men “of a certain age”, who often meet afterwards for coffee etc.
Patrick, Prostate Cancer
I was diagnosed with stage four tonsil cancer (HPV) infection in March 2018 and underwent 6 weeks of aggressive daily radio therapy and 6 weeks of chemo therapy. Although I get the welcome "all clear" in September, the months of inactivity (coupled with an unwelcome bout of sepsis) meant I had severe muscle wastage and a lack of general fitness and weight loss. Steve prepared me a custom based programme aimed at building up muscle base and increased general fitness and the benefits are remarkable. Not only have I put on weight in a controlled manner, my muscles have toned right up. I'm now back playing golf twice a week and even winning some money. My golfing pals now refer to me as Lazarus!
