From 10 January 2023, artists will deliver weekly sessions for adults with Long Covid at their friendly, accessible building The Point.

Breathe & Connect is a programme designed by darts specially for adults with Long Covid. Long Covid means that you experience symptoms even after your Covid infection has finished.

Breathe & Connect uses singing, breathing techniques, relaxation and gentle movement to help manage these symptoms.

Breathe & Connect runs in seven-week blocks at The Point in Doncaster town centre.

Sessions take place on Tuesdays from 1pm – 2.30pm and refreshments are provided. You don’t need a referral to join, but booking is essential. Email Amy on [email protected] to secure your free place on the next block.
