Gentle Movement
Chi Gung style movements that are suitable for all affected by cancer combined with relaxation and meditation. The sessions are led by trained volunteers and take place in two Glasgow Libraries and in the Calman Cancer Support Centre.
Gentle Movement has been found to:
- Increase focus and create a more peaceful mind

Walking
Local and friendly short walks led by trained volunteers. The walkers leave from 3 Macmillan @ Glasgow Libraries Information & Support Services citywide and stay for a chat and refreshment on their return. Walks are suitable for those of all walking ability and open to all affected by cancer, including friends and family. Walking is a great way to get active, feel good and meet new people.
Gardening
Our community garden projects open to anyone living with and beyond cancer, including friends and family of those with a cancer diagnosis. The gardening activities are designed to help people remain active during and after treatment and are suitable for all fitness levels. No specialist experience or equipment is required only comfortable shoes and clothing.
Circuit Classes
A 12 week programme designed to help adopt and maintain a healthier more active lifestyle after a cancer diagnosis. The class consists of a 60 minute physical activity session with a warm up, 10 circuit stations and a cool-down including a relaxation period. Circuit classes are delivered in 8 community/leisure venues citywide by highly qualified fitness professionals with a Level 4 Cancer and Exercise specialist Qualification.
