Campaigning news
Here are the latest medication supply issues we are aware of.
This month we’re relaunching our Can’t Wait campaign to end the long waits for care across England and Scotland. And we need your help.
Local campaigners across England have been busy speaking to MPs and councillors, and holding events to raise awareness of Parkinson’s and help improve services and support.
The Parky Charter is a petition calling for improved Parkinson's care. This week it reached 100,000 signatures, signalling to the government that it must act now.
The government’s latest welfare bill will make it more difficult for people with Parkinson’s across the UK to claim Universal Credit (UC).
The UK government has halted plans to make it harder for people in England, Wales and Northern Ireland to claim Personal Independence Payment (PIP). However, concerns remain about the Universal Credit (UC) plans.
On 1 May MPs debated Parkinson's in Westminster and called on the government to take action to improve services and support for people living with the condition.
We respond to the government announcements by launching our campaign against benefit cuts.
In our 2025 Campaigner Conference, we celebrated volunteers’ achievements, heard from campaigners and shared ideas about our upcoming NHS workforce campaign, Can’t Wait.
The Chancellor announced investment in the NHS and employment support, which we welcome. But we want cuts to PIP stopped and meaningful consultation with people with Parkinson’s on their plans.
