    Dear Member,

    We’ve all seen coronavirus (or COVID-19) in the headlines snd you may be feeling anxious about what the next few months will bring for you and those around you. At Parkinson’s UK we’re here to support people living with Parkinson’s.

    Advice on local group events

    For people with Parkinson’s, there’s no increased risk of catching coronavirus. However, the advice for slowing the spread of the virus for people with underlying health conditions does include staying away from groups of people.

    We’re asking branches to cancel group activities for now. In these uncertain and unsettling times developments are evolving and we’ll keep you up to date as our advice changes.

    As a result of this advice from Head Office the XXXXXXXXXX & District branch of Parkinson’s UK will be cancelling all branch therapy and social activities immediately until further notice, these include:

    Chair Based Exercises
    Chair Yoga
    Dance with Parkinson’s
    Speech & Voice Therapy
    LSVT Maintenance Sessions
    Walking Football & Walking Netball

    Monthly Lunch Time Meeting
    Monthly Social Evening Meeting
    Lunch Meeting

    The Health Suites & Therapy Centres are separate organisations and you must decide if you wish to book and attend them or not.

    This is a difficult time for us all but by following this sensible recommendation we will get through the coronavirus challenge facing us all.

    Regards
