A specialist gym run by a charity supporting people with neurological conditions has been forced to temporarily close.

The Neuro Wellbeing Centre in west Swindon, which was founded in 1981, has a state-of-the-art, fully accessible gym.

Specialist physiotherapists guide and help users around equipment and provide advice and support to enable them to exercise safely.

However, the charity has had to temporarily close the gym as it looks to hire three part-time physiotherapists.

The centre, however, continues to host a variety of exercise classes, including yoga, Pilates, and tai chi, adapted for all levels of mobility.

The charity's CEO, Debi Isaac-Taylor, said: "Without our gym service, hundreds of local people will struggle to manage the effects of their neurological conditions, which is why our search for the right physiotherapists is so urgent.

"We urgently need three friendly, supportive, and dedicated part-time specialist physiotherapists to enable us to reopen and reinvigorate our amazing gym offering.

“To find out more about any of these roles, please get in touch with me by emailing ceo@neurowellbeingcentre.co.uk or by calling the centre on 01793 481700.”
