CANCER REHABILITATION & WELLBEING HUB

In July 2023, Ahead Of the Game Foundation embarked on an extraordinary journey as it seized the incredible opportunity to move into its very own three-story facility in New Brighton. The newly acquired space, a former care home, presented itself as a diamond in the rough, desperately requiring repair and renovation. This move became imperative not only to accommodate the escalating demand for the Health & Wellbeing Cancer Rehabilitation Program but also to accommodate the growing team.

 

The foundation is currently transforming the facility into a centre of excellence for Cancer Rehabilitation & Wellness therapies in the Northwest. Currently there is nowhere in the United Kingdom which combines Cancer rehabilitation and therapies under one roof. The centre will offer physical, mental and emotional support to not only those diagnosed with Cancer but their families too.

Thanks to the incredible support from our community, volunteers and local contractors the new facility has been renovated room by room. The facility now offers a state-of-the-art Cancer Rehabilitation Gym, equipped with top-tier equipment from renowned brands such as Primal Strength, Keiser, and KO8. This exclusive facility is an integral part of our Health & Wellbeing Cancer Rehabilitation Program, providing a dedicated space for individuals on their cancer journey to engage in transformative weekly sessions. By combining advanced equipment with expert guidance from our dedicated team, the Cancer Rehabilitation Gym becomes a space where individuals find encouragement, empowerment, and a pathway to improved health. We take pride in offering a holistic approach to cancer rehabilitation, ensuring that each client receives the personalised attention they deserve on their journey to recovery.

At Ahead Of the Game, we collaborate with our therapy partners, The NorthWest Wellbeing Hub, to offer Hyperbaric Oxygen therapy, Red Light Therapy, Infrared Sauna along with massage therapies and counselling services.  This therapeutic intervention extends support to individuals dealing with cancer, as well as the wider public seeking benefits for general wellbeing and various medical conditions. The facility houses two chambers that ensure privacy for individuals undergoing treatment, all within a tranquil and relaxing environment. These therapies are an integral part in supporting those during treatment, pre/ post surgery and rehabilitation.

In 2024, we are undertook further extensive renovation to the outside space, conservatory to create a full Cancer nutrition cafe and zen / meditation garden. This has createdwell essential space to provide a range of group wellbeing sessions within our hub, addressing various needs such as grief workshops, cancer coffee mornings, wig fitting, nutrition workshops, yoga, pilates, sound healing, meditation and caregiver support groups. 

In 2025, we have scheduled the following exciting projects:

* The Lymphedema Room

* Renovate a new yoga / pilates studio 

* Official Launch of our Nutrition Cafe & Zen Garden

In 2026, we have scheduled the renovation of an on-site residential suite that will provide overnight accommodation to anyone wanting to utilise our facilities that are travelling from all over the world.

ZEN / MEDITATION GARDEN

We extended an invitation in 2023 to Premier Plants Of Ledsham to visit our new Centre, where we shared our story and vision. Touched by our cause, the Premier Plants team promptly decided to lend their support to our foundation, taking on the task of helping us transform the exterior of the hub in 2024. Premier Plants of Ledsham, is a beloved local independent Garden Centre with over 35 years of horticultural experience. This project created outdoor space for activities such as yoga, meditation, wellbeing classes, support groups and soon a children's area. 

 

To bring this vision to fruition, Lucy Stowell-Smith from Lucy Anne Designs, a local Garden Designer has generously volunteered her services for this noble cause. Renowned for her exquisite and therapeutic garden designs, Lucy's involvement underscores her commitment and skill. Her expertise not only beautified the grounds but also transformed them into a sanctuary for healing and peace. All classes held within the garden will be fully funded to help with the financial impact following a diagnosis.

NUTRITION CAFÉ

Thanks to the Cheshire Mark Masons for their incredibly generous donation, we have been able to make another dream a reality!

 

Over the past year, we’ve been working tirelessly to renovate the ageing conservatory, and thanks to their support, we’ve been able to build a beautiful brand new Nutrition Café -𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙆𝙧𝙚𝙬 𝙍𝙤𝙤𝙢,  the heart of our Cancer Rehabilitation & Wellbeing Hub.

This new café is so much more than just a space for enjoying nutritious refreshments and treats. It will be a safe, welcoming area for support groups, wellbeing workshops, a children’s play section, coffee mornings, and a relaxing spot for loved ones waiting while someone receives cancer specialist coaching or complementary therapy. 

The café serves healthy smoothies, quality hot beverages, nutritious whole food sweet treats. At our official launch in spring 2025 we will be introducing Buddha bowls and weekly hot specials.
