Let’s Combat Micrographia

Did you know small handwriting or Micrographia is a symptom of Parkinson’s disease?

Parkinson’s Care and Support UK have teamed up with Creative Neurology to deliver a 7- week Online Micrographia Workshop exclusively for people with Parkinson’s.

Group Singing Therapy

Parkinson’s Care and Support UK are delighted to partner with Sing to Beat to provide group singing therapy for people with Parkinson’s.

Many people start singing therapy when their vocal strength begins to weaken or decline. We actively encourage people to be proactive and to engage in singing and speech and language therapy as soon as possible after a Parkinson’s diagnosis.
