It offers grants of up to £3,000 for local groups, exercise coaches and activity providers.** The charity launched its physical activity grants in 2021 and since then the programme has delivered almost £700,000 in funding for activities across the UK. This funding has helped over 200 activity providers and exercise professionals to deliver classes and active projects for people living with Parkinson’s, many of them for free. Applications can be made by any local community groups and clubs, exercise coaches, activity providers and physios who have a connection to the Parkinson’s community. Classes and activities that qualify for funding can range from walking football and dance to table tennis and seated yoga, and others. ## Advertisement [⌊Posthub advert. You create the campaign.
