That's fantastic news! LPM Dance has been doing remarkable work by providing Parkinson classes since 2021, and it's wonderful to hear that they have secured £64,209 in funding from the National Lottery's Reaching Communities Fund. This funding will enable them to continue running their 'Connect & Flow' program in Preston for another two years, and they also have plans to extend the classes to East Lancashire.

It's heartening to know that LPM Dance's sessions are inclusive, welcoming not only Parkinson participants but also those with multiple sclerosis (MS) and dementia. This demonstrates their commitment to supporting individuals with neurological conditions and providing a safe and inclusive environment for them to engage in dance and movement.

Additionally, the partnership with the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) is commendable. Collaborating with a reputable academic institution like UCLan can bring additional expertise and resources to the sessions, ensuring that participants receive the utmost level of support and care.

By offering these weekly sessions, LPM Dance is not only helping individuals manage the symptoms of Parkinson's, MS, and dementia but also providing a sense of community and connection. It's well-documented that dance and movement can have significant physical, social, and emotional benefits for people with these conditions, so it's truly a valuable service that LPM Dance is providing.

Overall, I'm delighted to learn about LPM Dance's success in securing this funding. Their dedication to supporting individuals with Parkinson's, MS, and dementia through dance and movement is truly inspiring, and I hope that they continue to make a positive impact on the lives of those they serve in Preston and beyond.
