Dancing with Parkinson's programme offers dance and movement sessions appropriate for those living with Parkinson's and anyone living with a neurological condition, heart or circulatory disease. We currently run classes every Wednesday afternoon 2.30-4pm at the William Loveless Hall in Wivenhoe, Colchester. Classes are free to attend, but we welcome donations to support our work.

These sessions are intended to be bookable as it suits each learner. So effectively a series of drop in sessions for adults and young adults (16+) who wish to learn to ride, or who can ride 100 meters or more but are not confident and would like to develop their skills. The instructors will adjust the training sessions to suit the (max 6) learners who have booked so may be working with two groups at different levels. Bike hire is available (please let us know if you wish to hire).

Gentle, fun, chair-based ecercises

The low-impact exercise class is a perfect fit for individuals who are living with long-term health conditions. The class is designed with the aim of accommodating the varying needs of all attendees. The exercises are gentle and easy on the joints, making them ideal for people who have mobility issues or chronic pain. The class is conducted in a supportive and welcoming environment, and the instructor is trained to provide modifications to suit each person's individual needs.
