Tomorrow, our incredible Team C.A.R.S. runners take on the Run Leicester Festival! 🏃‍♀️💙

Whether you’re tackling the 10K or the Half Marathon, we want you to know just how much your incredible effort means to us and to the people we support.

Every kilometre you run reaches so much further. Every pound you raise helps us provide free support, connection, information and activity opportunities for people living with and beyond cancer.

Behind every pound raised is a person, a family, a story and a moment when someone needed to know there was somewhere to turn.

So, as you put one foot in front of the other tomorrow, remember: you’re running for something much bigger than the finish line.

From all of us at C.A.R.S., thank you for every step, every mile, every pound raised and every person you’re helping us reach.

Go Team C.A.R.S.! We’ll be cheering you on every step of the way! 👏🏃‍♂️

Sometimes it’s good to do something completely different…

To forget the lists, the appointments, the “what ifs” and everything else that can fill our heads.

This October, we’re swapping serious for creative and inviting you to come and play with LEGO! 💚

Our Loughborough Hub LEGO Activity is a chance to build, create, chat and have a bit of fun together.

No pressure. No right or wrong way to do it. Just LEGO, good company and a chance to switch off for a while.

Because sometimes, you don’t need to build something perfect. You just need to enjoy building something. 🧱✨

Life can be complicated. LEGO doesn’t have to be.

Come along, get creative and see what you can build!

WHAT A NIGHT!

On Friday 2nd October we had the absolute pleasure of attending the VAL Awards, where CARS was honoured to be a finalist for County Charity of the Year.

We may not have taken home the award this time, but to be nominated and to make it into the final four means so much to us. For a small charity, this recognition is something we are incredibly proud of.

It was also a wonderful opportunity to meet some amazing people, inspiring organisations and fellow charities who are all doing their bit to make a difference in our communities.

There was so much to celebrate, so many inspiring stories and a real sense of the incredible contribution made by the voluntary sector across our county.

A huge thank you for the nomination, and to everyone who supported us and believes in what CARS stands for.

Our congratulations to the winner and to all of the finalists, you are all making a difference.

We came away feeling proud, grateful and inspired… and very glad we got to be part of such a fab night!

Being a finalist is an achievement. Being part of a community that cares is the real prize!

Let’s talk boobs… because knowing what’s normal for you could be more important than you think.

Breast cancer doesn’t always look or feel the way you might expect. A lump is just one possible sign, and changes can be easy to overlook.

So, consider this your little reminder to know your normal, check for changes and don’t ignore something that doesn’t feel right.

We are delighted to have received a fantastic £500 contribution from The ASDA Foundation, following the North Yorkshire Walking Challenge, in which a group of our wonderful supporters took part.

This generous donation will help us continue providing our much-loved Tropic hand and forearm massages across our five Leicestershire Cancer Active Recovery Support Hubs. These relaxing treatments are something our Hub attendees really enjoy and are a lovely opportunity to take a little time out for themselves.

A huge thank you to The ASDA Foundation and everyone involved for your wonderful support.

Nearly all of us know someone who has been touched by cancer. For many people facing a cancer diagnosis, learning to live with it can be a daunting prospect.

Cancer Active Recovery Support (C.A.R.S.) exists to support people through that diagnosis, guiding them through recovery and beyond as they rebuild both physically and mentally.

C.A.R.S. runs support hubs and wellbeing sessions across Leicestershire, offering movement sessions, hand massage, social opportunities and learning sessions.

The Chesterton House Foundation recently awarded C.A.R.S. a £1,000 grant to fund 10 Tropic wellbeing sessions across their hub locations, giving attendees relaxing, confidence boosting experiences that support both their physical and emotional wellbeing.

Find out more about their work: https://www.recoverysupport.org.uk/
