Moving Forward volunteer - Kings College (Denmark Hill)
Breast Cancer Now
Our Moving Forward courses are for anyone living with and beyond primary breast cancer.
Our Moving Forward courses usually take place on 2 consecutive weeks and are delivered by a Moving Forward Facilitator. You'll move around small groups to support discussions, contribute your own insights when appropriate and offer emotional support if participants become upset. The course dates vary and run several times across the year, with this course usually taking place on a Thursday morning.
