Finding Your Purpose After Cancer

92% of adults find life after cancer harder than treatment. If you’re finding this part tough, you’re not alone.

At Life after Cancer, we offer free support to help you navigate the challenges that often arise once treatment ends, including fear of recurrence, identity shifts, brain fog, relationship changes, and figuring out what matters now.

You can connect with others who’ve had cancer through expert-led sessions, peer support groups, coaching workshops, and our 6-week group programme – all delivered by trained coaches with personal cancer experience, or by leading experts in life after cancer, such as doctors, psychologists, clinicians, and researchers.

98% of our community members say they feel less isolated and experience improved mental wellbeing after attending our services.

About This Workshop

After cancer, you might feel a stronger pull to live a life that means more to you. You may want to find a new sense of purpose or work out what really matters now.

That’s completely normal, but it can also feel like pressure to make the most of life or to know your purpose straight away. The truth is, it’s not always easy to know where to start. This session is a chance to pause and think about what purpose looks like for you today.

Research shows that having a sense of purpose can help reduce stress, improve sleep, and support your wellbeing. Purpose isn’t about having a big plan or a job title. It’s about knowing that what you do matters and finding small, meaningful ways to live your life in line with that.

In this practical one-hour workshop, you’ll explore what gives your life meaning now and find small ways to bring more of it into your daily life. You’ll leave with useful tools, personal insight, and one small action you can take this week to feel more focused and fulfilled.

Together we’ll:

• Get clear on what gives you a sense of purpose and meaning
• Think about the kind of difference you want to make
• Choose one small action to start bringing that purpose into your week
