NHS Couch to 5K cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling NHS Couch to 5K stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date NHS Couch to 5K will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from NHS Couch to 5K?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by NHS Couch to 5K directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the NHS Couch to 5K charge and choose Request a refund. On Android, open the Play Store order history, select the purchase and tap Report a problem. Requests made within 48 hours are often approved automatically.
Why is NHS Couch to 5K still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows NHS Couch to 5K as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the App Store subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my NHS Couch to 5K account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the NHS Couch to 5K app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.

No. You keep full access to NHS Couch to 5K until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
