Leicester Health and Wellness Show published their Delivery Report!3 years ago
An exciting ‘Health and Wellness Show’ bringing together the communities of Leicester and surrounding villages.
An inspirational ‘Health and Wellness Show’ hosted by Together Against Cancer, the award-winning cancer support charity operating from their established Education and Wellness Centre based in Leicester. The full-day event brings local people and communities together in a beautiful countryside setting. It's an opportunity to raise spirits after the unprecedented challenges of 2020/21 and to be inspired to create a brighter future. There will be a vibrant health and local craft market in the indoor marquee, holistic therapies, inspiring talks by health and wellness experts, exercise taster classes including Nordic walking, nutritious plant-based street food plus children’s activities such as garden games and mindfulness classes.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
Together Against Cancer community events raise awareness of vital integrative cancer support services. The charity meets many of the complex physical, emotional and practical needs of cancer patients and their caregivers. The Health and Wellness Show is an empowering opportunity to make a difference and the ripple effect can inspire positive change to individuals, families and communities. Many activities at Together Against Cancer Education and Wellness Centre are open to the general public. The event showcases exciting new plans to support the health of Leicester residents. This is an exciting opportunity to gain confidence, skills and reduce loneliness by joining the events volunteer team. Many of the volunteers are cancer survivors. Local food vendors and suppliers plus a market of 30+ stalls generates a much-needed boost to ethical suppliers and small businesses in the creative, wellness and hospitality sectors.
Steps to get it done:
A mini-bus service will operate from Together Against Cancer Education and Wellness Centre to the show.

VolunteerTogether Against Cancer is a Leicester city-based registered charity (Charity Number:1123665) dedicated to the relief of cancer and similar conditions through education, complementary therapies, grant-giving and public awareness. Our commitment to dis-ease prevention and healing extends to similar charities both in the UK and overseas, such as grants to The Foundation for Collaborative Medicine and Research (CollMed) and Destiny Medical Fund.
The popularity of a series of external educational events led to the opening of the Education and Wellness Centre in 2016 where we offer free nutritional guidance, practical workshops and one-to-one therapies to help with the healing process.
During 2020 and the pandemic, our small team diversified online and continued to provide dedicated support to clients. Together Against Cancer were winners in the Fitness and Nutrition Awards, a highlight in a difficult year for everyone. In September we were pleased to re-commence complementary therapies on GP referral.
The online support provided over the last 18 months has translated into a new website with a new Healing Hub membership launched in September 2021. This new initiative includes cooking videos, mindfulness sessions, pre-recorded workshops, interviews, live-streaming and a chat forum. The membership is free of charge for clients of Together Against Cancer and available to the general public for a small monthly charge. The flexibility of the system means that we are also able to provide personalised support to companies for employee wellbeing programs.
2021 marks our five year anniversary at the centre where we have welcomed thousands of visitors to our workshops and therapy sessions. We are now actively seeking larger premises with green space. This would open up our services to more people and include teaching about growing food whilst caring for physical and mental wellbeing.
We are hosting our fourth Health and Wellness Show in April 2022 and plan to make it a very special event. It’s an opportunity to bring local people together, raise spirits and share our vision of a bright future for the people of Leicester.
