Move Beyond Cancer
What is it?
Move Beyond Cancer is a 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, the programme helps participants feel empowered, supported, and connected.
The programme is delivered in partnership between CB Plus, Better by GLL, Centre of Excellence, Romanian Culture and Charity Together, and Yaran Women’s Club.
