Meet Priscilla.
Like many of us, Priscilla struggled with lockdown. So she started getting out into her garden to care for her plants and get some exercise.

Malcolm exercises at home every day. His top tips to get active? "Start gently and try a different range of activities and see what suits you best. Try not to get discouraged, keep going, keep trying and find what works for you.”

If you're as inspired by Betty as we are, then get your wool out and join the #BigKnit.

There's a pattern for everyone - whether you're a needle novice or an seasoned pro. Find your inspiration here: https://t.co/iciPxPn3qH

As Malcom says, if you do what you can, you end up feeling better! #everymovementmatters

This is Betty - she is amazing! She has knit two to three HUNDRED #bigknit hats for us. - She isn't quite sure on the number but after so many who can blame her!?

Missed this from last year. Great quote! #Parkinsons

[Age UK Oxfordshire @AgeUKOxon]

"Parkinson's is a sort of disease that you have to control yourself...it's a mental thing as well as a physical thing. And I think by going to classes, and forcing yourself to do something...you're making yourself better" @GenGamesUK @get_the_pic https://t.co/tMtjW3jQ7W
