…a bunch of really special people have created a welcoming and inspirational walking football session for people living with Parkinsons in Sheffield…

Parkinsons is degenerative and at times can be a pretty challenging condition.

There’s lots of evidence to show that exercise can provide some relief from symptoms and even slow progression….

We struggled to find community exercise my dad could either keep up with or connect with and feel like his old self in. That was until Community Wellness Services and the Sheffield branch of Parkinsons UK funded a project to see if a walking football session for people living with Parkinsons could help…

…it did! There’s nothing like scoring a goal for your team to elevate your Dopamine levels! We’ve met brilliant people both on and off the pitch and now we’re setting up a charitable organisation to keep it going!

We could use some help funding four sessions in November -it will give us crucial time to keep the momentum going whilst we continue to work on a more sustainable plan to really make a difference…

thank you
