New group for people with Parkinson’s launches

Alexandra Findlay, a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist, has launched a new Parkinson’s group in Goole that aims to help those with the illness and their carers

The first event took place on 2nd February to see if there was any interest/ need for a group in Goole and the surrounding area - 26 people attended and it proved to be a big success. As a result, a regular monthly group will be starting on the first Thursday of every month at The Vikings.

The aim of the group is to provide a chance for people with Parkinson’s and their carers to have a support network, share experiences, and have talks from various professionals e.g. Parkinson’s Nurse/Physio’s/OT’s/ SLT’s and dietitians along with social events/quizzes and trips out.

Our Goole had a chat with Alexandra to find out more.
