Life after Cancer
We’re a team shaped by lived experience and guided by the voices of the people we support.
Life after Cancer was created because too many people are left to navigate life after treatment on their own. Our work is grounded in listening, shared understanding and creating practical support for life after cancer.
Our Story
Life after Cancer was founded by Steph Davies following her own experience of cancer. From the beginning, our work has been shaped by people who understand life after cancer first hand.
When treatment ends, many people are left navigating fear, uncertainty and a sense of being misunderstood. Life after Cancer was created so no one has to face this part alone.
Our groups and programmes are led by facilitators who have experienced cancer themselves, so people don’t have to explain or justify how they feel. Everything we offer is shaped by what our community tells us they need as they adjust to life after treatment.

Bee enjoys holding a supportive space for those that have had cancer, allowing them to move forward, build new friendships and 'to just be you'.
