Parkinson's UK Personal Assistance Grants
People with Parkinson's or other forms of parkinsonism, and their principal unpaid carer, can apply for a Parkinson's UK Personal Assistance Grant up to £1,500.
If you need help with funding physical activities, household items, specialist equipment or home adaptations, we may be able to help. If you meet the criteria, you could be eligible for a Parkinson’s UK Personal Grant.
There is one more opportunity to apply for a Parkinson’s UK Personal Grant in 2025:
- Round 2 opened on Monday 28 July and closes on Sunday 14 December
Applications received after the closing date cannot be accepted and you would need to submit a new application when the first round opens in 2026.
