Hinckley & District Group

About us

We welcome anyone affected by MS - those diagnosed but also their family, friends, and carers. 

Our regular events include ...

Weekly Exercise Classes:  Led by a qualified instructor, our weekly exercise class provides MS-specific sessions delivered at varying levels of ability, whether you use a wheelchair, walking aids, or walk independently.  We focus on maintaining and improving balance, reducing fatigue, and increasing cognitive skills.  Regular exercise, especially as part of a group, is also proven to positively affect your mental health and emotional wellbeing too.  All followed by a cuppa and a chat!

"The difference in my strength & mental health is noticeable since starting these classes.  I don't feel as tired as I did, and my pain levels seem to be easier to manage.  My motivation is back, my confidence has increased & my world has opened up to new friends.  I really feel like I've become a happier person."

 

Coffee, Cake & Chat!  Our monthly coffee morning is a safe and welcoming space to meet new people and build wonderful friendships.  It is also a great opportunity to share experiences with others living with MS or caring for someone who does.  

"I was really nervous to attend the first time, but the group were extremely patient and coaxed me in very gently, and now it is the highlight of my month!  Everyone was ultra friendly, and I've made some long-term frinedships.  I aslos feel that I now have a network of people to talk to if I'm feeling low"
