This 4 week course will be led by Voices of Hope charity, who are dedicated to bringing hope to individuals and the wider community through food projects, women’s hubs and creative arts projects.
The Active Breathing Course (ABC) is NHS endorsed, and has been designed to improve emotional and physical wellbeing through practical, accessible techniques that help people take control of their breathing after cancer treatment— and by extension, their health. Participants will gain a toolkit of exercises they can practise independently both during and after the session — equipping them with long-term strategies to restore calm and control when facing breathlessness, anxiety, or chronic health conditions.
Please note, when you register you will be signed up for 4 weekly sessions. If you miss the first session, unfortunately your place will be cancelled for the rest of the course. Participation at all sessions is encouraged, but we understand that sometimes it's not always possible.
