What we achieved last year, together.
2023 was another tough year. But together, we continued to fund incredible research, strive to reach more people and help improve services for everyone living with Parkinson's.

Over 22,000 people were supported by the Parkinson's Local Adviser service. They continued to provide invaluable support for everyone living with Parkinson's, from medical issues to emotional support.
Over £3.3m awarded in research grants. In 2023, we funded many exciting projects, including a pioneering CBD trial at Kings College London which entered its second phase.
