Brighter Outlook
Welcome to Brighter Outlook - free, personalised physical activity for people living with and beyond cancer in Sussex.
Covid-19 update: We are continuing to accept new referrals into the Brighter Outlook programme and are delivering online support to help you get active and stay active in a way that is right and safe for you at this present time.
If you have been diagnosed with cancer, our specialist activity coaches are here to help you. Brighter Outlook offers free, specialist support to help you get active, stay active and feel good through cancer and beyond.
Being physically active can help you to prepare physically and mentally for your cancer treatments, help manage side effects of treatment and help support your recovery.
Research has shown that staying active is safe in most cases of cancer. The benefits can include less fatigue, improved mood, increased strength and fitness, reduced risk of cancer progression and decreased risk of recurrence.
Being active to recommended levels can also help you to reach and maintain a healthy weight and help to reduce the risk of other health conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and osteoporosis.
We’ve been creating video content and you can check all of our videos on our YouTube channel.
