Your Parkinson's local adviser will have a wide range of knowledge and expertise about Parkinson's, and know about services available in your area.

Parkinson's local advisers are there to turn to, so no-one has to face Parkinson's alone, providing free, confidential information and signposting – whether you have the condition or you're a carer, friend or family member of someone with Parkinson’s.

Parkinson's local advisers can help if you:

are looking for tips on how to deal with the day-to-day impact of Parkinson's
need emotional support
want to find out more about the services available in your area
have just been diagnosed and are looking for advice and information about your condition
want to learn about your rights and entitlements
need help navigating the benefits process
need information on where to find grants and financial help
are looking for support on employment issues
need support with anything else relating to your life with Parkinson's
