Exercising – being physically active - is important for everyone, including patients with cancer. The Royal Marsden has created a Physical Activity Strategy with staff, patients and interested partners. You will find it on the right of this page. The aim is that everyone at the Royal Marsden is encouraged to be active.

We want to get to a place within the Trust where physical activity is seen as everyone’s business. We know that people who are active themselves are more likely to encourage physical activity with their patients so this strategy is very much for our staff and volunteers as well as our for our patients.

On 17th October 2025 we hosted a very successful stakeholder event with 50 guests representing patients, carers, staff, charities and the wider physical activity and leisure sector. The outputs from discussions are now being used to update the implementation plan for our Physical Activity Strategy. We were also delighted to share this patient stories video.

How you can get involved

  • As we plan the new Chelsea Cancer Centre development, we would like ideas about how the new hospital site could encourage people to be more active, please add yours to the guestbook below.
