The Survivorship Cottage, in the grounds of Concord Hospital, runs activities for cancer survivors at any stage of their cancer journey, who have had their treatment or are seeing a Cancer Specialist at Concord Cancer Centre.
These include weekly courses, one off classes and education sessions, support groups and a resource drop-in centre. The courses include Gentle Yoga, Pilates, Medical Qigong, Walking Groups, StrongerYou (resistance training), Mindfulness, Art Therapy, Scrapbooking, Cardmaking, Music Therapy, and other creative activities. Most classes run weekly during the school term and there is currently no cost to join.
If there is space in a class, a carer is also welcome to come along. Priority is given to survivors who have not participated in a class previously. Registration for all courses is essential.
