Discover Parkinson's research

We're adopting a radical new approach to our research. We're speeding up the process of finding better treatments for Parkinson's, and delivering them to people faster.

Towards better treatments and care

As the largest European charitable funder of Parkinson's research, we've invested over £100 million in vital research that has delivered groundbreaking discoveries, new medications and better care. And right now new treatments are within our grasp.

Together, we'll find a cure

We’re a powerful global movement of scientists and supporters, investors and innovators. Driven by people with Parkinson’s every step of the way. 

Our research impact

For more than 50 years, we’ve been at the cutting edge of Parkinson’s research. Funding life-changing research for people with Parkinson’s in the UK, and beyond.

When will there be a cure for Parkinson's?

There’s currently no cure for Parkinson’s. But we’re determined to change that by funding the right research into the most promising treatments.

Our priorities for research

Finding a cure will take time – so we also champion research to improve quality of life for people with Parkinson's and their loved ones.
