SHAW Lane Sports Club is launching new events to help people living with or worrying about cancer.

A variety of sessions at the club at the edge of town centre will begin this week and will include gentle exercise, refreshments with nurses and mindfulness events.

Nurses will attend the club’s Community Cafe on January 30 and March 12 to discuss how small changes can reduce the risk of cancer and include free refreshments.

On the same dates, there will be mindfulness sessions to help people unwind and relax with help of spiritualist Pietro Politano.

Then on every Monday from February 3, there will be gentle exercise sessions for people in recovery or living with cancer.
