We're the Parkinson's support and research charity. For more than 40 years we've been working to find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson's.

We bring people with Parkinson's, their carers and families together via our network of local groups, our online resources and confidential helpline 0808 800 0303. Specialist nurses, our supporters, staff and publications provide information and training on every aspect of Parkinson's.

We offer friendship and support to everyone living with Parkinson's, their families and carers via our network of local groups across the UK.
