What it offers

What’s available depends on where you live. For example:

in South West London, classes suitable for all fitness levels, which can be done seated or standing, plus a six-session small-group gym course with a cancer rehabilitation personal trainer¹
in parts of Northern Ireland, local council and health trust programmes for people affected by cancer²
in parts of Scotland, walking groups and leisure centre activities³

Availability varies. Some areas have no Move More service, and programmes change over time.
Classes are usually group-based rather than a personal plan.
Check with your team before starting, especially soon after surgery or during chemotherapy. See when to rest.
