Younger people's groups
One in 20 of those diagnosed with Parkinson's each year is under
the age of 40. There are around 6,000 people of this age living
with Parkinson's in the UK, as well as many others under retirement
age.
Younger people (ie those under retirement age) often contact us
wanting to be put in touch with other younger people with
Parkinson's. Local support groups are one way of being able to
provide that support and are run as part of our Younger Parkinson's Network (YPN).
The groups vary in size and what they do, but they all provide
the opportunity to meet other younger people and share information
and experiences.
If you can't find a group below for your local area, there are
other branches and support groups throughout the UK welcoming
people of all ages. View our branch and
support group finder to find out more.
