Friday in-person classes operated by Oxford Branch cost £5 per session and are also available online at low cost for those who prefer not to travel to the live event (but you will miss out on the cuppa, chat and biscuits!) Contact Jonathan admin@oxfordparkinsons.org.uk for more information.

Live exercise class with Sarah Wheatley at Northcourt Centre, Abingdon OX14 1NS (just off Broadway), and also available online

Wellness@Witney

Every Tuesday, 2.00-3.00pm - Classes specially arranged for Oxford Branch at the Windrush Leisure Centre, Witney OX28 4YA
