Ahead of the Game Foundation

HERE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.

A cancer diagnosis changes everything. The NHS works hard to treat the disease, but the journey through and beyond treatment – the fatigue, the fear, the loss of strength and confidence – often goes without the structured support it deserves. That’s the gap we exist to fill.

Our Health and Wellbeing Cancer Rehabilitation Programme is completely free to access and open to anyone diagnosed with any type of cancer. Designed and led by specialist coaches with lived experience of cancer, it’s built around one belief: that how you support your body and mind during and after cancer matters – and you shouldn’t have to figure that out alone.

How the Programme Works

Your rehabilitation journey is structured across three phases – each one designed to meet you where you are and move with you as you progress.

Phase One — Your support starts immediately

You don’t have to wait to feel supported. The moment you apply, you’ll receive instant access to our YouTube channel – packed with practical tools, expert knowledge and a community of people who understand what you’re going through.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • A complete health protocol, covering nutrition, hydration, supplementation and therapies
  • Exercise videos designed to keep your body moving safely at home
  • A Q&A video library with expert advice
  • Pre-recorded wellbeing classes including yoga, meditation and breathwork
  • The full 8-week Mindfulness for Health course to support your emotional wellbeing
  • Ongoing access to free wellbeing and support groups, both online and in person at our hub

This phase is about empowerment – giving you the tools and support to start making positive changes from day one.

Phase Two - Your personalised rehabilitation journey

Once your placement is confirmed, you’ll begin a structured, one-to-one rehabilitation programme led by your own specialist coach. Every element is tailored to you — your diagnosis, your treatment, your goals and your pace.

Your programme includes:

  • An initial consultation of up to two hours
  • A functional movement screening and testing session
  • A bespoke, phased exercise programme coached weekly – delivered online, in person or in a monthly group session when you’re ready
  • Nutritional guidance and support
  • Mental health counselling
  • Family support counselling
  • Financial support and guidance
  • Optional: yoga, pilates, guided walks and an 8-week mindfulness course


Safe, structured and built entirely around you.

Phase Three - Life beyond the programme

Completing the one-to-one programme isn’t the end – it’s the start of your next chapter. You’ll continue to have access to classes, resources, community support and coaching, helping you keep building on the progress you’ve made and face the future with confidence.
