Sutton, Kingston and Epsom Working Age Group

We are part of the Sutton, Kingston and Epsom Branch and you can view a list of forthcoming local events on their branch events page.

We formed in July 2005 for people of working age with Parkinson's. Our activities include:

  • social events
  • exchanging views and ideas about Parkinson's itself
  • discussing our experience of the drugs we have been prescribed
  • providing an opportunity to be oneself
  • forming strong friendships
  • provision of support to people with Parkinson's and their carer
  • gaining information on new research, discoveries and progress in finding a solution to this progressive and degenerative condition

For the past 2 years, we have benefited enormously from updates presented by a research scientist specialising in Parkinson's research, from Kings Hospital. We've also had good feedback from dance and Putkisto (Finnish) exercise classes.

The general view is that we stay positive, particularly knowing that we are not alone and there are friends who know exactly what we’re going through and are at the end of a telephone should we need to talk.

We can’t promise you a cure but you’ll meet some amazing people, get lots of sympathy and understanding and who will lend you their support and infect you with their enthusiasm and zest for life.
