Located in Lincolnshire, Darkside Rising CIC is a non-profit organisation delivering various projects focused on empowering women, promoting their strength, and enhancing their overall health and wellbeing.
Offering weekly physical activity and peer support, led by an experienced Cancer Exercise Rehabilitation specialist. The Strength in Cancer Project provides adapted strength training sessions to women in Lincolnshire who have been diagnosed with cancer, or are currently going through treatment.
Strength in Cancer aims to improve physical health, mental health, increase confidence and resilience, and reduce social isolation.
This is good for wellbeing because
- There is opportunity to improve mental and physical health through taking part in the programme of physical activity.
- It is an opportunity to make new social connections and peer support, improving mental health and reducing loneliness and social isolation, creating opportunities for peer-led community support, outside of the project itself, and creating opportunities for information sharing on topics such as self-care.
- Together we co-produce an accessible and innovative training programme to increase confidence and resilience. There will be opportunity take ownership, creating a sense of agency when looking after your own health.
I am forever grateful to you and the gym. It has helped me enormously with physical strength and supported me through difficult times. I feel grounded when at the gym and feel I have gained in confidence, strength and my mental well-being is better than it was.
I am also thankful for the friendships I have made and it has made me feel grateful that I have been luckier than others and hopefully help other ladies when I can.
