Mid Ulster District Council is continuing their long-term intervention to help people living with cancer improve their health and well-being through physical activity.
The programme is for all people who have had a cancer diagnosis and are at any stage of their cancer journey or now cancer free.
Why move more?
Becoming more physically active is a positive change when you are living with or after cancer. Cancer and its treatments can make things feel very uncertain. Doing something for yourself like becoming more active can help you feel better and more in control.
Research suggests that along with having a healthy diet, being physically active can help reduce the risk of some cancer types coming back. It can also help reduce the risk of developing other health problems, such as heart disease, stroke and diabetes.
