Working Age Group (OxWAG) meetings and events

What is OxWAG?

We’re a group for working age people with Parkinson’s (PwP) and their partners and carers. We meet for an informal, supportive chat over tea, coffee and cake.

Our meetings…

… are from 2.00 to 4.00pm on the second Sunday of alternate months throughout the year. Our venue is The Baptist Church, High Street, Kidlington, OX5 2DS (map). There is ample parking, and the church is on the frequent 2/2A bus route.

Our next meeting is on Sunday 14 December. Please do come along and join us, especially if you have been recently diagnosed. There’s no charge apart from a token donation for refreshments. We look forward to welcoming you!
