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
