Local groups

There are around 365 Parkinson's UK local groups throughout the UK.

These are run by volunteers who usually have experience of Parkinson's and are supported by Parkinson's UK staff.

Some of our in-person events and activities are restarting. We're phasing a gradual return. Search to see what activities and groups may be available to you locally, or contact a local member of staff. See more about Parkinson’s and coronavirus on our dedicated page, and read more about our phased return to activities here.

The groups welcome family members and carers, and some involve health or social care professionals.

Meetings can be informal - a chance to talk and discuss worries and experiences - or may include a presentation by an invited speaker, such as a healthcare professional or complementary therapist.

Many groups hold social events and activities too.
