Local Adviser - Parkinson's UK

Parkinson’s UK is the charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey. From running life-changing support services and campaigning for better health and care, to funding research into new treatments and a cure.

We have a UK-wide network of friendly local advisers and each covers a different local area.

We can assist whether a person has the condition themselves, is a carer, friend or family member of someone with Parkinson's or is an agency involved with the care of someone affected by Parkinson’s.

The Parkinson's Local Adviser can help if someone:
  • is looking for advice and information is looking for tips on how to deal with the day-to-day impact of Parkinson's
  • needs emotional support, whether they have a Parkinson’s diagnosis, are a carer, or a family member/friend
  • wants to find out more about the services available in their area and the referral process wants to learn about their rights and entitlements
  • needs help navigating the benefits process needs information on where to find grants and financial help
  • is looking for support on employment issues needs support with anything else relating to their life with Parkinson's
  • is looking for support with managing during the COVID-19 outbreak We are here so that no-one has to face Parkinson's alone.
