Branch membership
Anyone wishing to join the branch must be a member of Parkinson's UK (annual membership fee
of £4). There is no separate branch membership fee at present.
Carers or other family members should join separately.
The more members of Parkinson's UK, the greater pressure we can
exert on government and health authorities the more money we will
have for research. Become a member
