Hi everyone just to let you know the zoom link for the Wednesday morning Yoga class has changed. If you haven't received it already send me a message or an email openingdoors24@hotmail.com. You can also find some of my guided meditations at facebook openingdoorsyoga
Thank you Forever Manchester this £500 award will go a long way. Thank you for your support.
At the start of the lockdown Dave and I discussed the possibility of running a virtual Chi Gung class and it has proven a great success. There have been 136 classes and over that time 1259 of our members have attended which is excellent news to hear.
Dave will continue to run the class virtually for the time being and if you are interested in joining please get in touch on info@mstherapynw.org and we will make sure you are connected.
The classes are run each weekday at 2pm.
It is an excellent way of keeping the body moving , helping with relaxation and more importantly helping you stay connected with others.
Great Job Dave. Well done. Babs x
Dave tremendous effort & commitment it's been great to see so much support You've gone above and beyond supporting all our members in these challenging times Thanks
Just to say a great big thank you to all our lovely supporters , your help has not gone unmissed and this is just to show our appreciation of everything you have done and do for our centre and our members.
If anybody would like to take part in a 100mph Zipwire in Bethesda, Wales on October 11th let us know via info@mstherapynw.org .We are currently planning for a group to zip that day to fundraise for the centre. They can organise a truck to drive you up to the top if you would struggle to walk and they are trained to help anybody who needs it to get into the harness and Zip away.
Just look at that view. Zip World
