What we do
We're the UK's Parkinson's support and research charity. Because
we're here, no one has to face Parkinson's alone.
Information and support
We provide information and support through our UK-wide team of
information and support workers, our
free confidential helpline 0808 800
0303 and our publications
We offer training and develop resources for health and social care professionals to help
improve services for people affected by Parkinson’s.
Research
We fund groundbreaking research to
advance our understanding of Parkinson’s and what causes it.
Our research also improves treatments to make life easier for
people living with Parkinson's.
We’re determined to overcome the symptoms and find a cure as
quickly as we can.
Friendship and support
We offer friendship and support to everyone living with
Parkinson's, their families and carers via our network of local groups across the UK.
Campaigning
We campaign to make sure people
living with Parkinson's are treated fairly, with access to the
support they need.
We want everyone to get high quality health and social care,
including help from a specialist Parkinson's nurse.
We also improve understanding of Parkinson's by changing
attitudes and challenging myths.
Fundraising
Without the generosity of people like you, our work would not be
possible. Supporters and volunteers are as vital to us as
researchers and nurses.
There are lots of ways you can get
involved and support us
Working with industry
We recognise the importance of working collaboratively with all
stakeholders with an interest in Parkinson's.
As a charity dependent on voluntary
donations, we do rely on support from individuals and industry
bodies. Approximately 0.5% of our income originates from
pharmaceutical companies.
We work in an open and transparent way with industry to protect
the impartiality of the charity. Our industry supporters don’t have
any input into the content of our
publications.
We review our policies regularly and we will continue to work
with industry where we believe it is in the interests of people
with Parkinson's.
