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.

 

How can it help me? 

Move Beyond Cancer aims to:

• Provide a safe space to meet others impacted by cancer

• Share stories and guidance about staying active during and after treatment

• Encourage physical activity through gentle exercise sessions and Walk & Talk groups

• Reduce isolation and improve mental wellbeing within our communities
