A fitness club for people with memory problems has started in Melksham.
Movement for the Mind is a group run by Wiltshire charity Alzheimer’s Support, with funding from Melksham Rotary Club and the Melksham Area Board.
It provides physical activities for people with dementia and their carers.
The charity’s development manager, Stephany Bardzil, said: “There is growing research evidence that physical exercise is beneficial in preventing and mitigating the effects of dementia. Our club will build on that.”
Sessions will be different each month, with exercise, dance, walks and Tai Chi.
