What is Parkinson's?
We are Parkinson's UK
We're the charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way.
We don’t wait for change, we make it happen. Campaigning for better health and care. Funding research into groundbreaking new treatments. Running life-changing support services.
We’re a powerful community united by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.
When you're diagnosed with Parkinson's, it may be hard to know where to start. There's a lot to consider and everyone's experience is different. We're here to support you.
Meet others living with Parkinson's and talk about your experiences at one of our local groups. Some groups host social events, talks and exercise classes too.
Being active can help manage your Parkinson’s symptoms, and has a positive impact both physically and mentally. It can be as important as getting the right dose of medication.
