Live Cancer Free is a non-profit organisation based in Leicester, dedicated to saving lives by helping people make healthier lifestyle choices.
Founded in 2015 by three doctors with PhDs in cancer prevention from the University of Leicester, we focus on cancer prevention, early awareness, and supporting people affected by cancer—particularly within communities facing the greatest health inequalities.
We deliver culturally sensitive health education, cancer awareness, fitness, and nutrition programmes in trusted, welcoming spaces. Our approach is friendly, evidence-based, and practical, helping people understand risk, recognise early signs, and take positive steps towards better health and wellbeing.
Heritage of Hope is our community documentary sharing real stories from Leicester’s diverse communities and how culture shapes people’s experiences of cancer. Created by Live Cancer Free Ltd and funded by The National Lottery Heritage Fund, the film gives a voice to patients, families and community members, highlighting stigma, strength and hope across generations.
