Malton & Norton District Lions 

Huge thanks to Malton, Norton and district Lions club - We are absolutely thrilled to announce we have been awarded £400 towards training for our Dance4Dementia and neurological conditions classes. Due to the lack of accessible parking at KH we are desperately seeking an accessible venue where we can hold these feel good classes. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. 
In April 2016 Miss Angela was awarded the Melvin Jones Fellowship from Lions clubs international foundation for dedicated humanitarian services. (We believe the first ever non Lions member to do so. )KH continues with its inclusive services for the community thanks to the generous donations. All enquiries info@kirkhamhenry.co.uk 
Lots going on in the merry month of May!

Dance for Parkinsons 

What a truly fabulous class this morning with our Dance for Parkinson’s participants. One of them commented “How blessed we all are to have each other.” As Dr. Heseltine one of the consultants highly recommends the class to his patients we are getting more members and if anyone would like to volunteer to help and come along to Wigginton any Friday morning, do let us know. Here’s some of our wonderful dancers having fun creating movement in groups.

Hi Angela, I just wanted to get in touch and say a massive thank you to everyone at Kirkham Henry who made The Barricade Boys appearance so very special. It was obviously an incredible night for me and something I’ll cherish for a long time but every one of the boys plus our technical team and band commented on how brilliant Kirkham Henry were.
