About the group

The group meets twice a year at a central Manchester venue to give members an opportunity to listen to a speaker on aspects of dystonia or a subject relating to general health and wellbeing. There is a raffle, refreshments and the meetings also give members a chance to chat. Around 24 people usually attend.

In addition the group meets several times a year for social events. These include meals, visits to gardens, the theatre and other places of interest to members. A small group of volunteers help to organise outings, raffles etc and individual members and their families raise awareness through fundraising activities such as the BUPA Great Manchester Run, plant sales and coffee mornings.

Future meeting dates

Join the Dystonia UK Manchester Group for their next meet up on Saturday 17th October, 2-4pm, at The Friends Meeting House, 6 Mount Street, Manchester, for a talk about specialist neurological physiotherapy, the benefits of regular exercise and maximising flexibility, strength and movement with dystonia as well as limiting problems as you age with dystonia.
