CanRehab Trust helps people living with and beyond a cancer diagnosis to become or stay active by providing safe, individualised exercise programmes. People who have had a cancer diagnosis are matched with a registered cancer exercise qualified instructor who can provide them with either on line or face to face individualised support. CanRehab Trust was founded by Dr Anna Campbell MBE who is Professor with a special interest in cancer and exercise and founder of the first training provider for cancer and exercise rehabilitation in the UK. The Charity’s seeks to support people affected by cancer to stay or become more active and increase their ability to self-management during and after cancer treatments and improve their quality of life. CanRehab Trust has developed a Register of approved personal trainers and health professionals qualified to provide safe tailored exercise programmes for people living with cancer. We aim to match individuals who require an exercise programme to the appropriately qualified instructor who can provide a number of safe and effective exercise sessions tailored to the person’s needs based on their diagnosis, stage of treatment, other health issues and previous exercise experience.
