New support group for Parkinson's disease sufferers is launched in Thurrock

A NEW support group has been set up in Grays for the sufferers of Parkinson’s disease.

The Thurrock Parkinson’s Support Group has already had two meetings so far at The Beehive Centre in West Street, Grays.

The intention is to have one meeting a month with the next being on Thursday November 6 followed by Thursday December 4.

Sufferes as well as their carers are welcome to go along and to talk to each other about the illness.

The meetings run from 10.30am to 12-.30pm.

The group is being supported for the first six months by The Parkinson’s Society, but after this period it will need funds.

Group secretary George Lang, said: “Donations will be thankfully received and faithfully applied. “ To find out more about the group call 01375 370276 or 07930667865. Alternatively email dorgios@yahoo.co.uk.
