About Us
Our vision is that every person living with a neurological condition has access to affordable, long term exercise and physical activity.
We help people get back to community activities and exercises they did before their stroke or diagnosis. Or we help people to start new activities.

In one of my first sessions a bubbly lady gave us her top tips on travelling abroad in a wheelchair and how best to get around Venice. Travel abroad? Venice?
Somehow I wasn't expecting that! Time for a reappraisal of what life might have to offer and it might be more interesting than I think, even though I am now living a ‘new normal’!
