We are a not for profit social enterprise delivering specialised exercise interventions for people with long term health conditions and additional needs.  Clients we worked with have varied condition, eg. autism, learning disabilities, Parkinson’s, dementia, hearing/vision impairment, with history of falls, in wheelchairs etc. Sessions are based in the community on a regular basis as well as within an establishment such as a care home, supported living etc.
