Mali Jenkins Help Fund
Our Mali Jenkins Help Fund provides one-off grants
to people with Parkinson's disease.
I would never have been in a position to buy it [the bed] myself. I know it will help me so much.

equipment, adaptations and respite breaks that will improve quality
of life.
It is named after Mali Jenkins, our
founder
