iCan is a free cancer rehabilitation programme (supported by Lingen Davies) www.lingendavies.co.uk designed to support people in their journey towards recovery and living well with cancer.
The core programme is structured as a 5-week course (10 x 1 hour) sessions, with a focus on helping participants to regain their strength, confidence, and overall wellbeing.
The iCan programme is tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, taking into account their specific cancer diagnosis, treatment plan and physical abilities.
Participants in the iCan program are supported by a team of friendly cancer rehabilitation and mindfulness specialists. The programs provide a safe and supportive environment where participants can share their experiences and connect with others who are going through a similar journey.
iCan can be attended by any cancer patient at any stage of their journey including pre-treatment, post-treatment, recovery or during the diagnosis phase.
Face-to-face sessions are available at different community settings throughout Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Powys.
Online programs are also available for people who prefer this option and for those with reduced mobility.
We understand that keeping active either with or beyond cancer can be a challenging time. The experienced and compassionate iCan team provide a safe and supportive environment where participants exercise at an appropriate level.
The iCan programme is an invaluable resource for anyone who is living with cancer and looking to improve their quality of life through activity. At the end of the 5-week iCan programme, participants will have gained a range of tools and strategies to help them continue on their path towards recovery and wellbeing.

iCan is different because we are an evidence-based programme which has a scientific journal that proves that our 5-week programme actually works.
We have linked up with University Centre Shrewsbury and have produced an peer-reviewed journal which shows that our participants increase their strength, reduce inactivity and improve their mood whilst they are with us.
