Macmillan Move More East Renfrewshire

Project information

Macmillan East Ren is a partnership between Macmillan Cancer Support and East Renfrewshire Culture and Leisure Trust. This partnership project will offer cancer information and support and also increase physical activity opportunities, for people affected by cancer. Physical activity will be offered through our Move More project. Macmillan East Ren are working closely with Walk-ER to make as many of the established health walks in East Renfrewshire, Macmillan friendly. We do this by training volunteer walk leaders so walkers benefit from extra cancer specific support, if required. The walk leaders lead the walks at a pace and distance that is appropriate for everyone taking part. These walks are short, sociable and provide a supportive, friendly environment for anyone affected by cancer to become more active. People living with cancer, their friends, family and carers are all welcome to attend. Macmillan East Ren are developing a programme of physical activity for people affected by cancer. This will include gentle movement and walking initially, before expanding the service to deliver circuit classes and gardening.
