People living with cancer can access pioneering exercise treatment<\/a> at a new centre in Hull. Yorkshire Cancer Research has taken space at Cherry Tree Court in the city centre, which has recently been refurbished by managing agents FI Real Estate Management, to bring its Active Together service to Hull.<\/a><\/p>\n Developed by researchers at Sheffield Hallam University\u2019s Advanced Wellbeing Research Centre, the programme is designed to increase survival and reduce the risk of cancer coming back. Nearly 3,000 people<\/a> across Yorkshire have already benefited from Active Together, which helps people prepare for their cancer treatment, as well as help them through recovery.<\/p>\n The charity is working with the NHS<\/a> Humber Health Partnership and will be using the new 6,000 sqft space to help people diagnosed with colorectal and upper gastrointestinal cancers under the care of the Queen\u2019s Centre for Oncology and Haematology.<\/p>\n The programme draws on evidence that exercise before, during and after cancer treatment can save lives. Growing scientific evidence shows it increases treatment options, builds fitness before surgery, reduces treatment side effects and surgical complications, and speeds up recovery.<\/p>\n Yorkshire Cancer Research’s new Hull centre(Image: Jonathan Pow)<\/p>\n Based on Ferensway, the new centre at Cherry Tree Court offers treatment based on individual needs, delivered by a team of cancer exercise specialists and physiotherapists.<\/p>\n Nicky Hill, head of Active Together at Yorkshire Cancer Research, said: \u201cThere is a growing body of global evidence that shows exercise can help to prevent cancer and improve survival. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important the Active Together service will now be available to people with cancer in Hull, making a difference to communities in an area of Yorkshire that continues to be disproportionally impacted by cancer.<\/p>\n \u201cThe new Yorkshire Cancer Research Centre will provide vital support at a time when people need it most, helping them feel stronger and recover faster. It will also help create a community for people with cancer by bringing the opportunity to meet other people going through a similar experience. The goal of the charity is to make exercise treatment available to everyone with cancer, wherever they live.\u201d<\/p>\n Cherry Tree Court has recently undergone a \u00a32.5m refurbishment. It now has new reception area with meeting rooms on the ground floor, renovated WCs and shower facilities, along with breakout areas and kitchenettes for all tenants to access.<\/p>\n Tim Knowles, founder and managing director at FI Real Estate Management, said: \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly pleased to be able to provide high-quality office space for a charity delivering such an important service and to support the programme\u2019s expansion into Hull. Exercise is not yet widely available to people living with cancer through the NHS, so the work Yorkshire Cancer Research is doing to roll out the Active Together programme throughout the region is incredible.\u201d<\/p>\n Did you know you can make Hull Live a preferred source of Hull news in Google, which will mean you get more of our breaking news, exclusives, and must-read stories straight away?
