Parkinson's is a complex brain condition that gets worse over time. It has more than 40 symptoms, from tremor and pain to anxiety, and there is no cure. Someone is diagnosed with Parkinson’s in the UK every 20 minutes, and by 2050, the number of people living with the condition worldwide will double to 25 million.
Parkinson’s UK is here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need. From searching for a cure and campaigning for better health and care, to funding research into groundbreaking new treatments and running life-changing support services. It’s all driven by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.
Our vital support services are for everyone living with Parkinson’s and their loved ones, ensuring that no one affected feels alone. We provide information and guidance on our website and have a free and confidential helpline that provides support on medical issues, employment, benefits, health and social care, emotional support, and services. Our local advisers can be reached by calling 0808 800 0303 or via email hello@parkinsons.org.uk.
Parkinson’s UK also has around 365 volunteer-led local groups throughout the UK, offering support to people with Parkinson's, their carers and loved ones. The groups provide an informal space to talk, share experiences and connect with people. More information on local groups and activity sessions in your area can be found here.
Support Parkinson’s UK’s largest ever fundraising appeal
One in five people living with Parkinson’s in the UK do not have access to a specialist Parkinson’s nurse. Parkinson's UK’s Nurse Appeal is aiming to change that by raising £9 million over three years to increase the Parkinson’s specialist workforce to help everyone live well with the condition.
