Become a member
Become a member of Parkinson's UK and join a powerful community united by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.
Why become a member?
We have over 40,000 members across the UK, and counting. We believe that together we’ll find a cure. But that’s not all we’re working for. We campaign for better health and care, fund research into groundbreaking new treatments, and run life-changing support services.
Join to get your voice heard and campaign for the changes that matter most to you.
Members drive everything we do
You can volunteer. Campaign. Share your experience. Join your local group. Improve services for people living with Parkinson's. Raise money for pioneering research. Take part in a clinical trial.
Have your say in how we run the charity and hold us to account. Make sure our plans and priorities reflect your lived experience of Parkinson's and what matters to you most. It's all about coming together and doing whatever we can to improve life for people with Parkinson's, families, friends and carers.
There's no pressure to get involved. But if you do, we'll work together to make the biggest impact possible.
To find out more about local groups, support and social activities, visit our support services page.

When you join, we'll send you a Parkinson’s UK membership card and pin badge.
You'll get discounts from our partners on everything from supplements to stairlifts, accessible bathrooms to adjustable beds.
