New Parkinson’s UK café session launching in Leicestershire for working age people living with Parkinson’s
A new Parkinson’s UK café for working age people living with Parkinson’s and their loved ones is launching in Evington, Leicestershire.
The Evington Working Age Café launched on Saturday, March 1 and then will take place on the first Saturday of each month. Each session will run between 10am-12pm at The Dove at Evington Pub and Kitchen, Evington, LE5 6LH, and welcome all working age people with Parkinson’s, their families and friends for a cuppa and a chat.
Eleanor Halford, Area Development Manager - Midlands at Parkinson’s UK, said: “I’m delighted this for new Parkinson’s cafe in Evington, led by our brilliant Parkinson’s UK volunteers. This is the first dedicated working age Parkinson’s support group delivered by us in the county, so I hope this opportunity for people to meet others and share experiences in a friendly and relaxed environment makes a difference.
“If you’re living with Parkinson’s locally, working age, and looking for mutual support, do come along or get in touch to find out more - we’d love to see you there!”
Parkinson's is a complex brain condition that gets worse over time. It’s the fastest growing neurological condition in the world, affecting 153,000 people in the UK. It has more than 40 symptoms, from tremor and pain to anxiety, and there is currently no cure.
