It all started with Mali Jenkins. Mali’s sister, Sarah, had Parkinson’s. When Mali looked for information about the condition, she didn’t find anything helpful. But she didn’t give up. Mali reached out to others living with Parkinson’s to share experiences. It was the beginning of our journey.
Over 50 years later, we haven’t stopped. Today we’re a united movement of people living with Parkinson’s across the UK. We’re families, volunteers, campaigners, fundraisers, scientists and health and care workers.
Together we share one mission: to make life with Parkinson’s better, today. Campaigning for better health and care services. Funding research into groundbreaking new treatments. And building strong, supportive communities.
We will find a cure, but it’s not all we’re working for. We’re making a difference now. For every Parkinson’s journey.
Campaigning. Research. Building supportive communities. Providing expert information, health and care for people with Parkinson’s. Find out what we’re doing to improve life for everybody living with the condition.
Whether you need support, have a question, or want to give us feedback, you can call us, write to us or contact us through email or the website.
