Parkinson's is a complex brain condition where the brain cells that produce a vital chemical called dopamine die.
It has no cure and gets worse over time. But as the largest European funder of Parkinson's research, we're determined to change that. We've invested over £130 million in research searching for the cause, a cure, and better treatments right now.
We have come a long way. Our research has led to better ways of managing the condition. Like helping to make deep brain stimulation a reality, for some this is life changing surgery to help them live better with Parkinson’s.
But still, more needs to be done. We have a multi-million pound funding programme, decades of experience, and strong international networks to get you better treatments, faster. And every breakthrough is powered by people with Parkinson’s.
Support research breakthroughs
You can help fund groundbreaking research where the results won't just be seen in the lab. They'll be seen in life-changing breakthroughs for people with Parkinson's.
