As you can see from these photos, which were taken at a taster during World Parkinson's Day, the movements can be as big or as small as you like.

Padel is growing in popularity, and some people with Parkinson's are finding it a helpful form of exercise.

At the the start of September we're running free taster sessions alongside Let’s Go Padel in
Derry/Londonderry.

Padel is similar to tennis in that it uses the same scoring system, but it is played in a court that is half the size. There are walls which the balls can bounce off, so you can easily achieve longer rallies, and it requires less physical strength.

If you fancy giving it a go, contact Emma for more information and to book your place.

We're incredibly grateful to the team at Tremor Wise who support our work through their community interest shop in Belfast.

They always have new stock arriving so it's well worth a jaunt in for a nosy the next time you're on the Lisburn Road.

Also, if you are having a clear out this summer they would really appreciate you choosing to drop off any unwanted clothes and items to them so they can continue to raise funds for our work in Northern Ireland.

You'll find them at 213 Lisburn Road, Belfast, BT9 7EJ.
