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.
