Around 13,000 people have Parkinson’s in Scotland, with the condition affecting many thousands of friends and family members. Parkinson’s is a currently incurable, degenerative neurological condition. People living with Parkinson's need and value the information, services and opportunities Parkinson’s UK provides, delivered by committed and skilled colleagues, volunteers and partners. Following an investment of £1.5 million into our community work we have the opportunity to build on the quality and reach of our community services across Scotland and the rest of the UK.
