Sign the Parky Charter

The Movers and Shakers are a group of public figures who all have Parkinson’s and are not afraid to say what they think. And they have been saying it.

In the pub to each other initially, and then more widely in their podcast about Parkinson’s, Movers and Shakers.

They’ve been listening too, and in their words:

"The podcast has become an unexpected hit as it seems to have touched a nerve. Through the thousands of emails and letters we have received since we started, we have developed (and continue to develop) a view of the situation. This has led us to the unfortunate conclusion that the NHS and other public services are failing people with the condition."

Will you join them in calling for the government to take action?

They have published a charter, 'The Parky Charter', describing 5 things that people with Parkinson’s need from the government but are not getting. Parkinson’s UK, Cure Parkinson's and Spotlight YOPD support the principles of the Charter and are partnering with the Movers and Shakers to bring it to the attention of politicians.

The Parky Charter petition was handed into 10 Downing Street on World Parkinson’s Day with 20,464 signatures. As a result, the Movers and Shakers, Parkinson’s UK, Cure Parkinson’s and Spotlight YOPD are having conversations about the points raised in the Charter with decision-makers.

We’ve decided to keep this form open so that people can continue to record their support for the Parky Charter’s principles, and receive updates from the Movers and Shakers about the progress being made, thanks to your support.
