“Because we are here, no one has to face Parkinson’s alone”
Parkinson’s UK brings together people with Parkinson’s, their carers and families via its network of local groups, website and free confidential helpline. Specialist nurses, supporters and staff provide information and training on every aspect of Parkinson’s.
As the UK’s Parkinson’s support and research charity, Parkinson’s UK is leading the work to find a cure and feels we are closer than ever.
Parkinson’s UK campaigns to change attitudes and to demand better services. Its work is totally dependent on donations.
