Living Well With And Beyond Cancer

Led by Macmillan Cancer Support, Sport England, Active Dorset and Bournemouth University, Dorset Living Well Active is a national flagship project which aims to enable 1,000 adults living with cancer to improve their potential for health, fitness and wellbeing.

An abundance of evidence supports the benefits of physical activity during and after cancer treatment. Keeping active can preserve or improve physical function and psychological wellbeing, reducing the negative impact of some cancer-related side-effects. Regular physical activity also has a potential role in reducing risk of cancer recurrence and increasing survival.

This session will bring together healthcare professionals, sport providers, educators, support groups and organisations to help people with cancer live the best life they can.
