Over 60 people gathered at Carn Brea Leisure Centre Trust this week for the 7th Connect & Conquer partnership event, organised especially for people in Cornwall living with Parkinson’s.

Members of the Parky Blinders coaching team were proud to attend alongside the wider Parkinson’s community, joining a fantastic day. The event, delivered in partnership with Active Cornwall, highlighted just how powerful physical activity can be for people managing Parkinson’s and showcased the wide range of inclusive, accessible activities available across Cornwall.

These award-winning events continue to grow in popularity, bringing people together not just to try new exercises and activities, but to share experiences, encouragement and community spirit. For many attending, it’s an opportunity to meet others on a similar journey, build confidence and discover ways to stay active and well.

The Parky Blinders loved being part of such a positive and supportive atmosphere and look forward to future events that continue to strengthen the Parkinson’s community across Cornwall. 💙💪

🎉🥊 Celebrating 3 Years of the Parky Blinders Boxing Project in Newquay, Cornwall! 🥊🎉

We’re thrilled to celebrate the 3rd anniversary of this fantastic community initiative, right here where it all began. Since starting with just six blinders, our project has blossomed into a vibrant and supportive community. It was truly heartwarming to see both some of our original blinders and new faces join us to celebrate this special occasion.

A very special THANK YOU to Susan from Cake Corner 42 for designing a stunning anniversary cake and generously donating to the Parky Blinders Boxing Project! Your creativity and support made our celebration truly memorable. 🎂🙏

We also want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the Heart and Soul for hosting our anniversary event with such warmth and hospitality. 💖

Thank you to Joff for his wonderful speech and for being one of the original six blinders. Your words and dedication continue to inspire us all!

A huge thank you to our amazing boxing coaches, Jim, Tom, and Rich, for guiding and inspiring us every step of the way. Your commitment and expertise have made a profound impact on our journey. 🥊👏

Here’s to many more years of camaraderie and support! 💪❤️ Thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey.

🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that we are now an official CIC (Community Interest Company) called the Parky Blinder Boxing Project! 🎉

Let's keep fighting together in Newquay and beyond!
