Parkinson's UK

Parkinson's UK is a Parkinson's research and support charity in the United Kingdom. In April 2010, the Parkinson's Disease Society changed its name to become Parkinson's UK.[1][2] Its aims are to improve the quality of life for people affected by Parkinson's and find a cure for the condition.

Parkinson's UK is the largest charity funder of research into Parkinson's in the UK.[3] It funds research aimed at finding better treatments and improving the understanding of Parkinson's and its causes.[4] It raises money through donations, legacies, community fundraising, events and corporate partnerships.[5] The charity offers support and information to people affected by Parkinson's, their families and carers through a network of 350 local groups across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.[6][7]
