Resources for local groups
If you're volunteering for one of our branches or local groups here are some of the documents and resources you'll need.
The marketing recipe book gives you everything you need, from messaging to materials, to talk to different types of people about Parkinson's.
You can order the materials in this book by downloading the order form below, calling 0300 123 3689 or emailing [email protected].
The Local Group Directory is a guide to help local groups provide the best possible support to people living with Parkinson's.
The Local Group Rules help local groups operate in a clear and consistent way.
You can download them below. There is one printed copy per local group available. Contact the Local Networks team for a copy on [email protected] or 020 7963 3929.
You can order a range of different resources and products to help support the running of your group.
Information resources
We produce information covering a wide range of topics related to Parkinson's.
You can find it all within the information and support section of our website and download it to read in your own time. Or you can signpost the people who come to your group to this page.
We do know though that it is often useful to have resources available at your meetings. So you can order printed copies, which are completely free of charge if you live in the UK from the information section of our online shop.
Trading merchandise
As well as information resources, our online shop stocks a range of branded products and daily living aids. Local groups are eligible for a discount on some of these products.
For the order form with the discounted prices on, please contact [email protected].
Fundraising resources
There are a number of resources that you can order to help support your group's fundraising.
To order any of these, please complete the fundraising resources ordering form and send it to [email protected]. All the items on this form are free.
Other resources
There are further resources that you can order that may be useful for your group. These are listed below.
To order any of these, please send the product code (the number beginning with PK) and quantity you would like to [email protected].
Make sure to include the delivery address you wish the items to be sent to. The items below are free, followed by items that have a charge.
Mosaic, the company that we work with, will send an invoice with your order so that you can pay with a local group cheque. Make sure that you specify which group you are from when you order.
Please note orders are capped at 20 of one item each time.
