Over 40 people enjoyed an afternoon of dancing with tea and cakes provided by the church in a fundraiser for Dancing for Health. The afternoon was led by Tracey Barnes, CEO of Dancing for Health CIC who leads the weekly Dancing for Health class at St Andrew’s at 1.00pm on Thursday afternoons. The class particularly focuses on offering dance for people with Parkinson’s disease ad other conditions affecting balance and mobility. It has been proved that dance is very beneficial in helping people diagnosed with Parkinson’s and other conditions to regain and sustain movement and balance.

As well as being very enjoyable, the event raised over £700 which will enable the class to keep going for several more months. Donations are always welcome for this vital service. For more information contact dancingforhealth.co.uk
