Jurassic PARKlife (Younger Onset Parkinson's Group)
We're Jurassic PARKlife, an informal group of people with early onset Parkinson’s, who get together with the aim of offering mutual support and sharing information to help with living with Parkinson's.
We're trialling a new meeting format where we meet monthly, switching between the Conservative Club, Weymouth on a Friday morning and the The Famous Old Spa Pub, Weymouth on a Thursday evening. We're hoping this gives the opportunity for people with Parkinson's who may be working an opportunity to meet up bi-monthly at the pub, and engage in conversation and mutual support. Please find more information about our meetings at the bottom of this page.
We also organise regular fun activities at local centres to keep moving and enjoying life, and try to introduce members to various activities available and easily accessible in the area, ranging from yoga, balance, boxercise, walking football, choir, swimming, cardiovascular workouts, speech therapy, and psychological therapies for acceptance, anxiety and confidence issues, and social events.
