Volunteer

Volunteers are an important and valued part of the Parkinson's Disease Society.

Together, staff and volunteers help to meet the needs of people with Parkinson's and their carers, locally and nationally across the UK. This would not be possible without the contribution of our volunteers.

The Parkinson's Disease Society is involved in many different activities, from fundraising and campaigning to research.

There are several ways for people to get involved:

Local branches and support groups

Volunteering with one of our local branches or support groups is a good way to meet new people and get involved with the local community.

Branches and support groups are run locally and offer information, social activities and practical help. They fundraise for local and national activities and also raise awareness of Parkinson's disease.

Contact the Branch and Volunteer Support Officer in your region to find out about volunteering opportunities near you.  

Media volunteering

Do you have a story to share? We are always looking for people with Parkinson's, carers and professionals who are willing to share their story with the media. Read more on our Media volunteers

Perhaps you're interested in helping to ensure that everybody affected by Parkinson's knows about the Parkinson's Disease Society and members of the public understand Parkinson's. If so, get in touch with us on 020 7963 9370 or email pr@parkinsons.org.uk

Card for Good Causes

We are looking for volunteers to work in local Cards for Good Causes shops where Parkinson's Disease Society cards are sold.
