We’re Parkinson’s UK, the charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey. Every step of the way.

It all started with Mali Jenkins. Mali’s sister, Sarah, had Parkinson’s. When Mali looked for information about the condition, she didn’t find anything helpful. But she didn’t give up. Mali reached out to others living with Parkinson’s to share experiences. It was the beginning of our journey.

Over 50 years later, we haven’t stopped. Today we’re a united movement of people living with Parkinson’s across the UK. We’re families, volunteers, campaigners, fundraisers, scientists and health and care workers.

Together we share one mission: to make life with Parkinson’s better, today. Campaigning for better health and care services. Funding research into groundbreaking new treatments. And building strong, supportive communities.

What we do

We use our collective strength to get you better support, better treatments, and better health and care.

We’re Parkinson’s UK. The charity that’s here to support every Parkinson’s journey, every step of the way. Wherever you’re from, whatever you need.

We don’t wait for change, we make it happen. 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.

Families, volunteers, campaigners, fundraisers, scientists, health and care workers. We’re a powerful community united by one mission: improving life with Parkinson’s.
