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
