Accessing group and yoga support locally issues
So I thought I'd be proactive and find out which groups are running locally. There are two nearest to me (5 and 9 miles respectively) but I've been told by the organisers (funded by MS Society) that I cannot attend these and have to travel 30 plus miles since my care is not based at their local hospital. I was admitted as an emergency to a larger urban centre and so my care has remained at this hospital.
Since when has doing yoga and going to a support group been dependent upon where your medical care happens?
I'd have thought they would welcome users to keep the groups going.
I can't drive anymore and the local community transport do not travel out of their rural patch.
So near but so far...
@HappyHen, enquire of the groups whether they're over-subscribed or whether there's some other reason for this restriction. If there's no valid reason, appeal to their better natures, explain your local and that there are no other viable options for you. If that doesn't work, complain to the MS Society and see if they can suspend their funding! 👿
Hello @HappyHen, where abouts are you based? Some MS Society groups are doing really well-attended Yoga and meditation by Zoom....
