We're the UK's Parkinson's support and research charity. Because we're here, no one has to face Parkinson's alone.
Information and support
We provide information and support through:
a.. our UK-wide team of information and support workers
b.. our free confidential helpline 0808 800 0303
c.. our publications
We offer education and training and develop resources for health and social care professionals to help improve services for people affected by
Parkinson's.
Research
We're the largest charity funder of Parkinson's research in the UK. So far, we've invested more than £50million in groundbreaking research. And
by 2014, that figure will have reached £75million. We fund research to advance our understanding of Parkinson's and what causes it. Our research also improves treatments to make life easier for people living with Parkinson's. Over the next 5 years our ambitious research strategy - Our plan to cure Parkinson's - Parkinson's UK research strategy 2010-2014 - will push our search for a cure to a new level.
Friendship and support
We offer friendship and support to everyone living with Parkinson's, their families and carers via our network of local groups across the UK.
Campaigning
We campaign to make sure people living with Parkinson's are treated fairly, with access to the support they need. We want everyone to get high quality health and social care, including help from a specialist Parkinson's nurse. We also improve understanding of Parkinson's by changing attitudes and challenging myths.
Fundraising
Without the generosity of people like you, our work would not be possible. Supporters and volunteers are as vital to us as researchers and nurses. Our work is totally dependent on donations. It's only with your help that we can continue our vital research projects, and provide support and information. There are lots of ways you can get involved and support us - help us to find a cure and improve life for everyone affected by Parkinson's.
