HUBS

Who is a ‘Hub' for?

Our ‘Hub' meetings are held for people who have been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease and for their carers. Some people with Parkinson's come to meetings on their own whilst others attend with a partner, friend or carer

What happens at a ‘Hub'?
‘Hubs' are open between 10.30am and 3.30pm.
Coffee is served by Volunteers from 10.30 and this is followed by a short talk from a Parkinson's Disease Nurse Specialist (PDNS) on a topic of particular relevance to someone living with Parkinson's.

At Threemilestone and Pensilva we are able to offer a hot lunch, currently priced at £3.50. Please note the price will be rising to £4.50 in April 2011. Please call 01872 222281 at least one day in advance to book your lunch, though be prepared as you may need to talk to an answer phone!

At the St Austell hub we ask that you bring a packed lunch. We ask for a small donation of at least £2.50.

If you have any allergies please inform us.

Throughout the day there is an exercise group. A general interest topic or activity group takes place. A raffle is held at each hub with a prize of £5 on offer. Tickets are £1.

Do I have to stay all day?
The idea of a ‘Hub' is that you can come and go as you need to suit how you feel. However, the published programme does need to keep to time as much as is possible, so speaker slots will always start as published.
