At Ahead Of The Game Foundation we are bridging the gap in the NHS for offering rehabilitation to anyone with a cancer diagnosis.
Our physical activity programme is designed to aid cancer pre/rehabilitation by improving your physical, mental health and wellbeing which will help to improve the quality of life.
This physical activity/wellbeing programme consist of two phases and levels of support.
PHASE ONE: INSTANT SUPPORT - once your application is submitted, you’ll begin Phase 1 immediately, with access to our exclusive Members Hub.
PHASE TWO: BESPOKE PROGRAMME - you will be created a bespoke physical programme with a dedicated Cancer Rehabilitation Specialist Coach.
PHASE THREE: CONTINUED SUPPORT - keep building on your progress, tay connected with free wellbeing classes, unlimited Members Hub access, and ongoing options to train with your Cancer Rehabilitation Specialist Coach.
Our current waiting period for fully funded phase two bespoke programme is 12 months from application.
We will let you know by email when you’re moving into Phase 2, which is your tailored physical programme. We understand that this can be frustrating and Ahead Of The Game is working endless to secure future funding to offer as many phase two placements as possible.

" I have beaten cancer twice and I am currently outliving my terminal cancer diagnosis by nearly 9 years." Dave is a fully qualified strength and conditioning coach as well as a Pre/rehabilitation cancer specialist with a Level 4 qualification in Cancer rehabilitation exercise prescription. Along with Dave you will meet our Senior NHS private Physio to carry out a basic assessment to further enable the team at Ahead Of The Game to best meet your/their needs, goals and aspirations.
Following an assessment the participants will be given a bespoke activity/wellbeing programme by a qualified Level 4 cancer rehabilitation specialist coach, which will measure and evaluate mood, sleep, diet, nutrition, any pain, or discomfort and comments about the project. To do this we will deliver a series of funded, weekly structured 1 on 1 sessions which can be delivered online, at home or in small groups. The bespoke sessions will encompass physical, mental health and wellbeing exercises, mobility, guided walks, nutritional advice, with support for you and your family as cancer affects not just the individual diagnosed but their families just as much. Sessions will take place at our Cancer Rehabilitation Hub, New Brighton.
We will be offering monthly live Q&A with Dave, monthly group sessions, workshops and the option to access to other fully funded courses. Individuals who meet the criteria can self refer by completing the online application form.
Remember there is another way, there is another option and there is hope.
self funded placements
Ahead Of The Game Foundation bridges the gap in NHS services by offering cancer rehabilitation to anyone with a confirmed diagnosis.
Our unique Health & Wellbeing Programme is available at our Cancer Rehabilitation & Wellbeing Hub in New Brighton or online for survivors worldwide.
In 2024, we missed key grants that fund our one-to-one Cancer Rehabilitation Programme, leaving us 𝙪𝙣𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙤𝙛𝙛𝙚𝙧 𝙣𝙚𝙬 𝙛𝙪𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙛𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙙 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙘𝙚𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙨, until more funding is secured. With no government or NHS support over 400 people remain currently waiting for phase two of our programme.
Since early 2025 we have received smaller grants allowing us to slowly offer bespoke programmes to those who have applied.
In 2025, we have launched Self-Funded Placements where once applying you will not only have instant access to phase one support, but will start phase two bespoke programme with a dedicated Cancer Rehabilitation Specialist Coach. Your caregiver or family member will also have instant access to mental health support. There is a yearly fee for this programme calculated on basic cost of coaching and support.
