Volunteer your time

Group of Parkinson's UK supportersOur work to find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson's would not be possible without our volunteers.

There are many ways to get involved:

Volunteer with a local group

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

Our 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.

Contact the branch and volunteer support officer in your region to find out about volunteering opportunities near you.

Fundraise

Volunteering for me is not only a way of saying thank you, it also gives me an immense sense of purpose.

Local group volunteer

You could hold your own event - either turn your favourite sporting event into a fundraising activity or hold a social event to raise funds. How about a Party for Parkinson's?

Our work is totally dependent on donations. Whether you raise £5 or £500, you can make a difference.

There are also lots of events you can take part in - from walking events right up to adventurous sports. If you can't take part yourself, why not volunteer to cheer other people on?

Campaign

Join our National Campaigns Network to get regular updates about our national campaigning work and find out how you can get involved.

Together we can fight for a fairer deal for people affected by Parkinson's.

Share your story with the media

Do you have a story to share? If you have Parkinson's or you're a carer or health or social care professional, we are always looking for people like you who are willing to share your story with the media

Get involved in research

Without your support our research towards a cure for Parkinson's could not happen. There's a variety of ways in which you can get involved in our research

Cards for Good Causes

We need volunteers each year in the run up to Christmas to work in local Cards for Good Causes shops where our charity cards are sold.
