Sign the Parky Charter

Join the Movers and Shakers, Parkinson’s UK, Spotlight YOPD and Cure Parkinson’s to call on the government to take action to improve the lives of people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones.

'The Parky Charter' describes 5 things that people with Parkinson’s need from the government but are not getting. And we want to bring it to the attention of politicians.

The Movers and Shakers launched a new petition in April as a lot has changed since their original petition last year, not least the government. View the petition on the parliament website.

The petition reached 100,000 signatures in July, but it doesn't guarantee a debate. So we're encouraging people to keep signing it by 10 September, so it puts more pressure on the Petitions Committee to approve a debate.

The Movers and Shakers

The Movers and Shakers are a group of public figures who all have Parkinson’s and are not afraid to say what they think. And they've been saying it.

In the pub to each other initially, and then more widely in their podcast about Parkinson’s, Movers and Shakers.

They’ve been listening too, and in their words:

"The podcast has become an unexpected hit as it seems to have touched a nerve. Through the thousands of emails and letters we have received since we started, we have developed (and continue to develop) a view of the situation. This has led us to the unfortunate conclusion that the NHS and other public services are failing people with the condition."
