Exercise classes
We also hold:
- Weekly yoga, physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, bowls and gym
sessions
- Monthly reflexology and walks
Walks
All our walks are checked for wheelchair accessibility. It would
be helpful but not essential, to know beforehand if you are
planning to come along, so the pub or tea shop can be given
numbers.
In the event that you require a lift, please contact Beatrice on
01227 766782 or b.j.shire@kent.ac.uk a couple of
days before.
We welcome suggestions of venues for future walks, also good
pubs or tea shops that are wheelchair friendly.
Whilst the exercise is an important part of the experience, a
chance to chat and share ideas over food and drink, is just as
important.
