Parkinson’s is a progressive neurological condition that affects people from all walks of life. It is quite common, many people are affected and if you have recently been diagnosed you are not alone, Fight Parkinson’s is here to support you.

Although classified as a movement disorder, it can affect people in different ways. Sometimes the emotional changes can be more troublesome than the motor changes, and can have a bigger impact on the day-to-day life of someone living with Parkinson’s.

It is important for people living with Parkinson’s to be proactive in the management of their condition. However, they do not have to face this challenge alone.

One of the key things to remember is that most people with Parkinson’s disease continue to live long and rewarding lives.

Help and support resources for you.

Fight Parkinson’s provides a range of resources and publications that can assist people living with Parkinson’s, their families and carers to feel more informed about the condition.

There are many ways you can support Fight Parkinson’s. We have many activities you can take part in, plus opportunities to volunteer.

Fight Parkinson’s is committed to funding vital research to further understand Parkinson’s, to find better treatment options and ultimately a cure.

Parkinson’s is a very individual condition, with each person experiencing a different combination of symptoms.
