On average an area like ours will have over 50,000 people suffering with neurological conditions but with very restricted specialist services for long term maintenance and improvement of their condition.

The local NHS provides good quality care for patients who are suffering an exacerbation of their condition but is unable to treat people after the acute episode is dealt with.

Our club aims to support the members AND their carers with services that aim to maximise the wellbeing of both groups.

Exercise has been proven to help stem the progression and maybe even improve the symptoms of this with conditions like Parkinson's.

A number of clinical studies have reported positive benefits from exercise in various neurologic disease states, suggesting that this mode of intervention should be considered as another option in clinical management. Despite this evidence, exercise is often neglected in patients with normal aging or neurologic disease progression.

We aim to correct this by provision of exercise twice a week , with separate classes for men and women, and subsidised for those who are unable to fund this themselves.
