Life After Cancer
Life after Cancer is a UK‑based support organisation dedicated to helping adults navigate life after finishing cancer treatment. It recognises that the transition out of active treatment can bring ongoing emotional, social and practical challenges from fear of recurrence and changes in identity to loneliness and uncertainty about the future and offers compassionate, structured support to help people rebuild and thrive once treatment has ended.
The charity provides free peer support groups that meet online weekly, where participants can connect with others who have also experienced cancer, share stories and offer mutual encouragement in a small, welcoming setting. These groups, facilitated by trained coaches with personal lived experience of cancer, aim to reduce isolation and improve mental wellbeing by fostering connection and understanding among members.
In addition to support groups, Life after Cancer runs interactive online workshops and expert sessions that tackle key post‑cancer issues such as wellbeing, confidence, purpose and practical life adjustments. They also offer a six‑week coaching programme a structured small‑group course focused on identity, values, resilience and planning for the future led by trained coaches who have themselves lived through cancer experiences.
For those who prefer in‑person connection, the organisation hosts meet‑ups and gentle wellbeing activities in London, such as walks and social gatherings, providing informal opportunities to support one another outside of virtual spaces. Life after Cancer’s services are available nationwide to anyone aged 18 and over who has completed cancer treatment, whether this was recently or many years ago, and aim to help people feel understood, supported and equipped to shape life after cancer in ways that reflect their personal values and goals.
