If you have received a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease and found there was nothing open for help and advice over these past two years, you are warmly invited to join our local support groups.

Groups across the area include the Centurion Hotel, Midsomer Norton on the first Tuesday of the month from 10 am – 12 noon. We also meet at the George Inn, Gurney Slade, on the third Thursday of the month from 10 am – 12 noon. The Bath group meets at the Weston Free Church hall on the third Saturday of the month from 10.30 am – 12 noon, Stanton Drew Village Hall on the fourth Wednesday of the month from 10 am - 12 noon and another in Keynsham on the last Tuesday of the month from 10.30 am - 12 noon. We are also looking for a venue in Frome.

Every Tuesday afternoon we play indoor bowls for fun at Purnell Bowls Club, which is very relaxed. Come and have a go – you may surprise yourself! There is no charge for your first visit.
