Step Up For Parkinson

The Melita Foundation helped Step Up for Parkinson’s bring movement classes online, keeping people active and connected during tough times.

Step Up for Parkinson’s offers free movement classes to improve the health of people with Parkinson’s Disease and their caregivers. With the Melita Foundation’s support, they moved these classes online during the COVID-19 pandemic. The classes help with issues like walking and facial expressions, and also tackle isolation and anxiety. The Melita Foundation was happy that such a project ensured these valuable classes could continue safely during tough times. By providing a supportive and engaging environment, Step Up for Parkinson’s helps improve the quality of life for participants and their families.

Making a difference together

Since starting in 2020, The Melita Foundation has backed many projects run by different groups and backgrounds. From local STEM skills for school kids in the Three Cities to global stuff like planting trees, ESG awareness, teaching maritime law and conservation and ensuring our heritage is well taken care of.
