Give it a go - our classes are fun and you'll get a warm welcome! They are specially tailored for people with Parkinson's. You can do just as much or as little as you feel able to. Email us for more details or to let us know you'd like to join in.
We've suggested a level of contribution for each class but leave it up to you whether you pay more, less or nothing at all. We are determined that cost will never be a barrier to people with Parkinson's benefitting from our events and activities. Please read our details on how to pay and other ways you can help.
Getting to classes: we've set up a partnership with York Wheels, a voluntary organisation, to provide transport to our activities for members who could not otherwise attend. Read about the scheme and how to access help here.
