Description
From high-octane skiing to walking football – via table tennis lessons and golf's Pakinson's mulligan – the Movers and Shakers have plenty of experience with the world of sports. But with such a mixed ability group, are they getting the most out of the sporting offerings of the Parkinson's community? And what does taking up a sport offer, socially, in addition to the obvious fitness benefits?

Additional production by Ewan Cameron. Music by Alex Stobbs. Artwork by Till Lukat. PR by Sally Jones.
