Chorley & Preston Primary Care are partnering with 8 local Football Club Community Organisations to deliver Cancer Prehab to all of our cancer patients (18+) preparing for or currently receiving treatment. This includes patients receiving palliative oncology. This service will be self-referral only and initially will be a 1-year pilot, with the clubs looking to sustain the activity after this period. THE GO-LIVE DATE IS WEEK COMMENCING 6TH JANUARY.

Each session will include an hour of personalised exercise, followed by an opportunity to sit down with a brew and a biscuit whilst chatting with other attendees. When possible, the local trusts Macmillan information centre will also be in attendance, to provide advice and support where required. 

The football clubs involved with this project are: 

Preston North End

Accrington Stanley

Barrow AFC

Blackburn Rovers
