What is Moving Forward?

We understand that a person’s need for support doesn’t end when treatment finishes. Our Moving Forward services and information are for anyone living with and beyond breast cancer, helping them approach life after treatment with increased confidence. 

Our Moving Forward courses usually take place over two consecutive weeks and are delivered by a Moving Forward Facilitator, in partnership with NHS hospitals and are supported by on demand online resources. Training will be provided prior to volunteering on the course.

How can I support Moving Forward as a volunteer?

We aim to have 2 volunteers on each Moving Forward course, who are there to welcome participants and support the facilitator. You'll move around small groups to support discussions, contribute your own insights when appropriate, and offer emotional support if participants become upset.

What commitment is required?

The Moving Forward courses take place over two consecutive weeks, and a volunteer would ideally be involved each week for half a day. The course dates vary and are run several times across the year, with the Barnstaple courses usually taking place on a Wednesday morning.

Please note that the role specific training for this role will take place on Zoom on Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22 January, 9.30am to 12.30pm.
