Every donation made or fundraising event that takes place on World Parkinson’s Day will directly support the Parkinson’s Centre.
Let’s make World Parkinson’s Day 2022 the most impactful one ever! We have 24 hours to donate and raise as much as possible to fund the Parkinson’s Centre for Integrated Therapy: life changing therapies, research and education under one roof.

Hold Your Own Physically Fun Fundraiser For Parkinson’s
Join our Parkinson’s Fundraising Team by holding your very own physically fun fundraising activity this week. This can include: walking, running, cycling, dancing or whatever you like to raise money for vital Parkinson’s services.
Simply speaking, there is no one out there providing the services we do. Your support helps people living with Parkinson’s today, not tomorrow. Every pound raised will fund therapies, mental health support, care, training, information and non-pharmaceutical research to curb the devastating progression of Parkinson’s and enable people to live better for longer.
