What we do
 We're the Parkinson's support and research charity.
Help us find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by
Parkinson's.
Research
We fund research that is focused on
transforming lives. We have spent around £45million on
research since the charity was founded in 1969.
This research has led to advances in the search for the cause of
Parkinson's, improved medical and surgical treatments, better
therapies and equipment, and towards finding a cure.
Information and advice
Our nurses and specialist advisers on our helpline 0808 800 0303 offer support and advice,
giving people the confidence to manage the condition and plan
ahead.
Our wide range of publications,
including information sheets, booklets and DVDs, answer questions
on all aspects of the condition, helping people with Parkinson's,
their families and carers, and professionals involved in the
management of the condition.
Local support
Our network of over 330 branches and support
groups located across the UK offer support and services,
enabling everyone affected by Parkinson's and their families to
meet others in similar situations.
Policy and campaigns
We work hard to campaign and influence
Government policy and the development of
high-quality services at a local and national level, including the
education of professionals working with
people with Parkinson's.
We believe all people with Parkinson's should have access to
high-quality and integrated health and social care services
delivered by professionals with a good understanding of the
condition wherever they live across the UK.
Annual Report and Accounts
'Bigger Better Bolder', our latest Annual Report and Accounts, provides our
accounts for the financial year 2008 and a review of
the charity's activities and achievements during the year.
No one should have to face
Parkinson's on their own. If you are affected by the condition we
are here to support you.
Our work is almost entirely funded by charitable
donations, and we are heavily reliant on legacies. Find out how you
