Move Beyond Cancer is a new community initiative supporting Somali, Iranian, and Eastern European communities in North Central London who are living with or have been impacted by cancer. Through peer support, tailored physical activity, and information sharing, participants can feel empowered, supported, and connected.

The programme aims to:

  • Provide a safe space to meet others impacted by cancer
  • Share stories and advice about the benefits of staying active during and after treatment
  • Encourage physical activity through exercise sessions and walk-and-talk groups
  • Reduce isolation and improve mental wellbeing within our communities

Pre-Session Health Questionnaire

This is required by our activity partner, GLL, to ensure exercises are safe and suitable for everyone.

The questionnaire collects information about:

  • Cancer type, diagnosis date, and treatment pathway
  • Current side effects or health considerations that could affect physical activity
  • Any contraindications or red flags for exercise

Please complete the pre-session health questionnaire using the link below, a member of the GLL team will be in touch with you soon.

Session Information 

We will run gentle aerobic and tailored exercise sessions for anyone living with or beyond cancer, whether in treatment or adjusting afterward. Sessions help participants build strength, boost energy, and gain confidence.

We will also run Walk and Talk groups to stay active, meet others, and reduce isolation, led by volunteers with lived experience.

Programme starts: December 2025 (TBC)
Frequency: Every other Tuesday at 11:00 am
Duration: 1 hour
Total sessions: 16 (attending all is encouraged)
