People With Parkinson's (PWP) are often overwhealmed by the condition to the extent that they do not admit even to people close to them that they have the symptoms. They do not go out or exercise and their symptoms deteriorate rapidly. It has been proven through studies in the USA, Japan and the UK that table tennis not only provides vital exercise for PWP it also stimulates the brain to make new pathways in the brain. Causing a tangible slowing down of the condition.

Our project focuses on supporting volunteers by providing access to high-quality training and meaningful work experience at our Forest School and Outdoor Learning Centre.

The Iris Arts will develop a community room that people living locally can call their own. Aligning with local priorities, Adult and Family Learning, Youth Work, Financial Inclusion and Community Development, we can develop a space adjoining our Community studio where people living locally can meet, share and learn. This will provide a space for our Youth Volunteers to meet, learn and create, families to engage in creative learning classes and older people to learn and feel less isolated.
