About Us
Our vision is that every person living with a neurological condition has access to affordable, long term exercise and physical activity.
We help people get back to community activities and exercises they did before their stroke or diagnosis. Or we help people to start new activities.

LEGS Participant
In one of my first sessions a bubbly lady gave us her top tips on travelling
abroad in a wheelchair and how best to get around Venice. Travel abroad?
Venice?
Somehow I wasn't expecting that! Time for a reappraisal of what life might have
to offer and it might be more interesting than I think, even though I am now
living a ‘new normal’!
Our Vision
We don't discriminate by level of disability, address or financial means. Everybody should enjoy the many benefits of exercise.
Everybody should have the opportunity to improve their physical function and independence.
Everybody should have access to social participation and have mental well being.
We know that recovery takes place over many years following a stroke and that long term exercise brings huge benefits to those with neurological conditions.
Equal access to physical activity for people with neurological conditions, enabling them to live active, healthy lives.
Our Vision
To provide affordable and accessible rehabilitation to people living with neurological conditions.
