Due to the retirement of the current co-ordinator, the future of the Bridport Support Group for Parkinson’s is under threat.

The group desperately needs somebody to fill this volunteer post otherwise it will close at the end of the month.

A spokesman said: “This is sad news as the support group meets every month and is an ideal social environment for people with Parkinson’s where they can meet with similar minded people whilst enjoying a topical speaker followed by tea and cakes.

"The support group has been going for over 35 years and to close down will be such a loss to many as they will miss this monthly contact.”
