A Birmingham based charity is hosting an event to raise vital funds for children and adults suffering from movement disorders.
NICE helps people with neurological motor disorders have the capacity to learn and develop skills, previously deemed impossible, through structured teaching and learning programmes designed and delivered by professionally trained practitioners.
They work with people who suffer with movement disorders, such as: Dyspraxia, Parkinson’s and Parkinsonism, Stroke, Multiple Sclerosis and more.
It is a movement-based program looking at every aspect of the person including their emotional and physical well-being.
They also provide parent workshops, diagnosis specific carers groups and an open-house policy where family members can observe sessions and learn directly from the conductors.
It was established 35 years ago and designed to bring a system of education and therapy from Hungary back to the United Kingdom.
Dr Melanie Brown, the CEO of NICE charity, said: “I think the pandemic has had an impact on all of us and now it’s time for us to feel better.
“We decided that a well-being day is perfect for people to take a little time for themselves and then of course raise the money to help our families access the services they need.”
Dr Brown added: “The primary thing is that people come and enjoy themselves and learn a little bit about not just our work but actually about themselves.”
The event will be held on the 27th of February in Cannon Hill House.
It will provide a range of professionals from outside of the charity, who are going to be running workshops for stress management, yoga, sound bath meditation, tai chi, reiki and more.
During the pandemic the charity managed to keep their services open for a lot of the time as people’s conditions have got worse over that time.
“At least by us being here and being open we’ve been able to help people through that time as well, but obviously for us funding has become a real issue over that time,” said Dr Brown.
“Birmingham is a key area as “NICE” was the first charity to bring conductive education to the UK.”
