Branch meetings
Our next meeting:
Tuesday 7th January 2025, 1.30pm at Dean Court Community Centre, Pinnocks Way, Botley, OX2 9DG (map).
Our monthly meetings usually have a speaker. Recent meetings have informed us about research activities at the University, other Parkinson's-related concerns, and topics of general interest. Some meetings are devoted to group discussion and feedback.
Non-members are welcome to attend a meeting, but we encourage you to join and become a member to take full advantage of all Branch events, activities and benefits.
