Parkinson’s UK is aiming to help more Orkney residents access local wellbeing and physical activity services.

The Physical Activity Grants programme has been running since 2021 and in that time more than £700,000 has been awarded to local groups and activity providers across the UK.

Grants of up to £3,000 are available to support physical activity projects for people with Parkinson’s.

Applications close on Thursday 2 October.
