Aquaterra are raising funds to bring the popular Cancer Survivorship Programme to Keynsham. The programme will be run from our newest leisure site, Somerdale Pavilion. The Cancer Survivorship Programme is a brilliant 12-week course, which aims to get those who have recently suffered from cancer or are going through treatment, motivated and back on... their feet again. Run by friendly and informative instructors, our cancer project is a caring and safe environment, where people participate in gentle group exercise classes and are also able to voice any worries they might have. After just one year of being in place elsewhere in the UK, our Programme achieved fantastic results: 89% of participants have improved energy levels. 87% of participants have changed their lifestyle and will continue to do so. 92% of participants have improved confidence and enhanced sense of well-being. 96% of participants have described the programme as excellent.
