Virtual activity groups for the Ataxia Community
Our Virtual Activity groups started in the first Covid-19 lockdown and have been so popular that we’ve continued with them ever since.
At Ataxia UK, we wanted to create social activities that help the ataxia community to stay connected with each other from the comfort of your own home. The sessions are created and hosted by the Services team and our wonderful volunteers, including wellbeing activities, information sessions on a range of topics covering different aspects of living with ataxia and fun activities like Tony’s music club.
We hope these sessions will be informative, entertaining and leave people feeling a little less isolated.
We have a number of  events planned throughout 2024.
Coming up…
- Wednesday 17th July 10:00-14:00 – All About Ataxia
- Friday 18th October, 13:00-14:00 – Mindfulness
All About Ataxia
All About Ataxia is an information seminar that gives anyone affected by ataxia (patients, carers/family members) information about the clinical and practical implications of living with ataxia. They explain what is known about ataxia, how it may progress, and what can be done to mitigate its effects.
Our next AAA event will be held on the 17th of July 10:00-14:00.
Mindfulness
Lucy will take you through a range of techniques such as body scans and meditation to help you manage everyday stresses with a calmer mind.
This session is free, with an option to donate more if you feel.
The next scheduled Mindfulness session is Friday 18th October, 13:00-14:00, click here to register.
