The Centre is governed by a Board of Directors.  It is a Company Limited by Guarantee and is also a registered charity relying upon voluntary support for its income. The Centre believes that its emphasis on healthy nutrition and lifestyle, together with a wide range of complementary care, contributes towards a better quality of life supporting medical treatments provided by hospitals and doctors. The Centre was opened around 20 years ago by David Holmes, a medical researcher, Dr Roger Field and Tony King.  It was then based on the "Bristol" holistic approach to the treatment and prevention of cancer
