NHS North East and North Cumbria Northern Cancer Alliance Living with and Beyond Cancer Fund

This fund provides grants supporting the delivery of prehabilitation interventions and/or services for cancer patients across the Northeast and North Cumbria. The fund aims to enhance quality of life, health, and treatment outcomes for cancer patients by supporting initiatives that improve health and wellbeing for people living with and beyond cancer. Priority is given to projects that reach underserved communities including carers, veterans, young people, travelling community, and ethnic groups, provide community-based support in areas of high deprivation and/or rural communities, and deliver in areas experiencing health inequalities. Supported activities include exercise classes, social activities addressing isolation, cooking and nutrition advice, work and money planning support, and emotional resilience building. The fund is administered by Cumbria Community Foundation and funded by the Northern Cancer Alliance.
