Exercise Class

We have contracts with two local providers to offer our members ‘Parkinson’s focused’ weekly exercise classes. The providers are highly professional, experienced and friendly and they offer a range of classes, tailored for individual members at different stages of the condition. Their classes are held at locations hopefully convenient to the majority of members to avoid too much driving.

New members attending the exercise classes are given an initial assessment by the provider to identify the best level of class to meet their needs. Then annual follow-up assessments are carried out to monitor physical progress. These assessments are a one-to-one review with a Neurophysiotherapist. The Branch fully funds the initial assessment.

The Branch has agreed a fee with each provider on a member per class basis. The Branch then pays a subsidy per member to the providers, and members pay the balance directly to providers. These member payments are made in advance for a ‘block’ of weekly classes, normally 10 weeks or similar.
