Excellence Network funding for UK health and social care organisations
We offer a variety of funding opportunities to organisations working towards our shared mission of improving the lives of people with Parkinson’s and those who love and care for them.
Our commitment to funding
Since 1996, we’ve invested more than £12 million into funding, training and supporting Parkinson’s nurses. Thanks to our brilliant supporters, we've seed-funded almost two thirds of the entire UK Parkinson’s nurse workforce. Without this support, the Parkinson’s workforce would simply not exist in the form it does today.
We’ll continue to pump prime specialist nurse posts until we reach our goal of universal access to a specialist Parkinson’s nurse for everyone living with the condition in the UK.

Funding for service improvement and allied health and mental health professionals
We also recognise the need for better multidisciplinary care for people with Parkinson’s. Our flagship Excellence Network Grants Scheme was launched in 2022. It funds specialist allied health professional (AHP) and mental health professional posts and supports service improvement projects across the UK.
We welcome:
- applications for funding to support local, regional and national service improvement projects through the Excellence Network project grants scheme
- business cases for the pump priming of new specialist Parkinson’s AHP posts in services across the UK.
The scheme will run alongside the existing grants scheme for pump priming specialist Parkinson’s nurse posts in services across the UK.
If you have any questions, please contact our Excellence Network Grants team at [email protected].
