A fun, informal group with activities including singing, vocal exercises and more for people living with Parkinson's and their companions. Held in Royston but anyone from the local area can attend.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- our voice is our tool for communication; through voice, warming up exercises, and song, Linda aims to help everyone maintain or even improve their voice both in volume and expression;
- meeting other people living with Parkinson's and their companions will make you feel less alone - sharing experiences with others can help you manage any challenges you may be facing;
- getting out of the house and being with others who understand is important; no-one will mind if you are having a bad day.

What to expect
A weekly group led by Linda Bance - a local musician and choir leader whose husband David lives with Parkinson's. Activities include singing, voice work and simple exercises to boost voice projection. There are also research presentations, discussion and opportunities to meet other people with Parkinson's and their carers/companions. Refreshments are included.
More information
The group meets on the second Thursday of each month from 10.30am-12 noon, but it is suggested you get in touch with Linda via email or phone (see contact info for details) to let her know if you plan to attend and to check dates.
There is a car park at the back of the Town Hall (the same car park as for the Health Centre).
The venue is fully accessible for wheelchair users.
