⚽ Get Down & Show Your Support! 💙

Sunday 26th April, something truly special is happening on the Island.

The Isle of Man Walking Football community is welcoming the North West Warriors — a remarkable team of players living with Parkinson’s and other health challenges — for a series of competitive 6-a-side matches.

📍 St John’s Astro Turf Pitch
⏰ Kick-off: 13:15

These players are proof that determination, teamwork, and passion don’t stop with a diagnosis. They’ve travelled to the Island not just to play — but to inspire.

Come along, bring your friends and family, and help create a fantastic atmosphere. Your support will mean a huge amount to every player on that pitch.

Let’s show them what the Isle of Man is all about — community, encouragement, and backing each other all the way.

See you there! ⚽💙

Move More. Feel Better. Stay Connected.

Walking Football is a brilliant way to stay active—and for those living with Parkinson’s, it can make a real difference.

This isn’t just football at a slower pace… it’s movement with purpose.

Regular physical activity like walking football can help:
• Improve balance and coordination
• Support mobility and flexibility
• Boost mood and reduce anxiety
• Maintain strength and independence
• Encourage social connection and reduce isolation

And the best part? It’s inclusive, friendly, and adaptable to different abilities.

The sessions run by Isle of Man Walking Football are welcoming, supportive, and a great way to meet others while doing something positive for your health.

Why not give it a try?

You don’t need to be a footballer… just bring yourself.

Movement is medicine. And together, we’re stronger every step. 💙

World Parkinson’s Day – April 11 🌷

Today we come together to raise awareness of Parkinson’s — a condition that affects so many individuals and families across our Island and beyond.

World Parkinson’s Day is about understanding, support, and hope. It’s a reminder that no one should face Parkinson’s alone.

Here at the Parkinson’s Disease Society Isle of Man, we are proud to support our local community by:

💙 Providing support, advice, and a listening ear
💙 Creating opportunities to stay active and connected
💙 Raising awareness and understanding across the Island

Together, we can make a real difference.

If you or a loved one need support, please don’t hesitate to reach out 💙

Today we’re focusing on one of the most recognised symptoms of Parkinson’s: Tremor.

A tremor is an involuntary shaking, often starting in the hand or fingers, and is usually more noticeable when the body is at rest.

Did you know?
• Around 70% of people with Parkinson’s experience a tremor at some stage.
• It often begins on one side of the body before potentially affecting both.
• Tremor can improve with movement but return when the body is relaxed.
• Not everyone with Parkinson’s will have a tremor — it’s just one of many symptoms.

Parkinson’s affects everyone differently, which is why understanding symptoms like this is so important — for those living with it and those supporting them.

If you or someone you know is affected, please remember — you’re not alone.

Get in touch via DM, email [email protected] or call 309409 for support.

Move More. Feel Better. Live Stronger.

Exercise isn’t just good for people living with Parkinson’s, it’s powerful.

Regular movement can help improve balance, mobility, strength, and even mood. It can slow the progression of symptoms and give people back a sense of control.

Whether it’s walking, stretching, boxing, dancing, or simply staying active at home, every movement matters.

You don’t have to be perfect. You just have to start.

If you or someone you love is living with Parkinson’s, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
