Fighting Fit
ACTIVE TOGETHER
Active Together aims to support people living with Parkinson's by helping attendees complete exercises to improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
The sessions aim to help build participants' balance, strength and coordination.
These are group sessions where you can also connect with people with shared experiences.
After these sessions, there is the opportunity to stay for a drink and chat using social spaces in the Co-op Community Hub, which is located at the LNER Stadium.
