IF you have a relative, friend or neighbour, or know of anyone who has Parkinson’s, please tell them, and their carer, about us, the Parkinson’s UK Thurrock Group.

We meet at St John’s Ambulance Hall, London Road, Grays RM17 5YB, on the first Thursday of every month at 10.30am until 12.30pm.

Please join us, we are a great group with about 45 members and carers.

The meetings are fun, we start off with light exercises (and everyone joins in) to get us moving.

There is usually a speaker – sometimes we will learn something new about Parkinson’s, but quite often the talk will be unrelated, e.g. how to keep bees, Thames barges, war stories etc. There is tea, coffee and biscuits when we all chat.

Please contact: George or Doreen on 01375 370276, or e-mail dorgios@yahoo.co.uk
