A message from your Parkinson's UK local adviser

Parkinson's UK have asked us to share the information below about how their South East branch can help those affected by Parkinson's:

Parkinson’s UK is the charity that drives better care, treatments and quality of life for those affected by Parkinson’s. We have a UK-wide network of friendly local advisers and each covers a different local area. We can assist whether a person has the condition themselves, is a carer, friend or family member of someone with Parkinson's or is an agency involved with the care of someone affected by Parkinson’s.

We can help if someone:

• is looking for advice and information
• is looking for tips on how to deal with the day-to-day impact of Parkinson's
• needs emotional support, whether they have a Parkinson’s diagnosis, are a carer, or a family member/friend
• wants to find out more about the services available in their area
• wants to learn about their rights and entitlements
• needs help navigating the benefits process
• needs information on where to find grants and financial help
• is looking for support on employment issues
• needs support with anything else relating to their life with Parkinson's

We are here so that no-one has to face Parkinson's alone. Call or email your local Parkinson's adviser Louie McCloskey for more information and advice:
