Starting or maintaining physical activity after a cancer diagnosis and during treatment can seem daunting, but we can introduce you to a range of activities and practical tips to suit your circumstances and level of fitness. And it doesn’t have to be hard work – there are lots of fun ways to get moving!

Even a few minutes of movement each day can improve the quality of your life, helping with breathing and the flow of oxygen and nutrients around the body.
