Friends of ParkinsonsCSUK
From 31st January 2022, Parkinson’s Care and Support UK will be launching a new Friends of ParkinsonsCSUK Membership giving community members the opportunity to gain full access to a wide variety of integrated therapies, information, services and products to improve life with Parkinson’s.
Benefits of being a member
From the end of January Parkinson’s Care and Support UK will be introducing the ‘Friends of ParkinsonsCSUK Membership‘.
As a Friend of ParkinsonsCSUK, you will receive several benefits and priorities including free access to all live and face to face exercise classes, free or subsidised therapies, special concessions on products and services to help improve life with Parkinson’s, access to highly regarded Parkinson’s therapists and healthcare professionals, regular e-news updates, free access or priority bookings for Friends events and webinars, invitations to participate in new research and much more.
Is there a fee to pay?
The annual subscription cost of this membership is £120 in which there is an option to pay this in one or three instalments at the time of signing up. This membership will also play a crucial role in helping to fund our vital services and maintaining the running of the charity. We have managed to keep going through difficult times but do need to raise more money to enable us to continue supporting people with Parkinson’s.
As of Monday 31st January 2022, you will need to be a Friend of ParkinsonsCSUK in order to access live and face to face exercise classes including neurological physiotherapy and a range of therapies, workshops, webinars and benefits listed above. Non-members will still have access to exercise videos via our YouTube Channel.
We hope that you will share the same view as us in that this change is a positive way forward for the charity and that through expanding our Friends programme we will gain a sustainable income and also a large pool of members who are supportive of the charity’s overall aims and objectives.
