Katie Smith, Area Development Manager, Parkinson’s UK, said:

“Being diagnosed with Parkinson’s can be a shock and adapting to life with the condition can be hard for the person involved and their loved ones too. But we know getting the right information and support can make all the difference.

“I’m delighted we can host this event in Moulton and encourage anyone who has been recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s, or is supporting someone with the condition, to get in touch and book their place.”
