The Retford District MS Society Support Group’s monthly coffee, cake and chat will take place on Friday 7th March at The Well, Hospital Road, Retford DN22 7BD from 10.30am until 12.00pm. Anyone affected by MS will be welcomed by the friendly group members and supporters.
This month’s guest speaker will be John Bryan from Age UK, who will provide advice on recognising and addressing telephone and online scams. John will also share information on keeping warm and other services offered by Age UK.
In February, the group welcomed Angela Dainty, Community Health and Wellbeing Manager for Barnsley Premier Leisure. Angie provided further details on the tailor-made, individual-led GP referral sessions in the pools at both Retford and Worksop Leisure Centres. She also gave an insight into the Kilton Feel Good Memory Group, which provides support to carers and people living with memory loss.
The group’s Zoom meetings for physiotherapy, exercise, wellbeing sessions and chat continue on a weekly basis.
As a group, they promote exercise to support health and wellbeing and provide exercise equipment for the home where needed. They are also taking part in the Wednesday Wellness project.
Retford District MS Society Support Group is part of the UK charity, the MS Society. The group is there to support individuals and their loved ones to live well with MS, and new members will be given a very warm welcome. For further information, call 01777 860674 or email retford@mssociety.org.uk.
