Parkinson's Network Providing Support Services in Leicestershire & Rutland

This website has been created for and by people living with Parkinson's in Leicestershire and Rutland. The local groups which form the hub of the network are all run by volunteers and supported by Parkinson's UK staff.

We aim to provide signposts for those people living with Parkinson's, their family, and friends to activities across both counties as well as information and new initiatives on Parkinson's.

The network provides alongside this website a quarterly Newsletter.

The local Activity Groups, Branches and support groups are left tor raise their own income to fund the local support group meetings and the various activities organised by them.

We in the network of local groups in Leicestershire and Rutland would ask you to consider supporting the local people living with Parkinson's now by giving to one of them.
