Charity opens its doors to people affected by Parkinson’s for Birmingham community event

A first of its kind in Birmingham, the event will be held on Saturday, 14 October, at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole directly after the charity’s Annual General Meeting.

Attendees on the day will be offered access to information on the latest research into Parkinson’s and support around the condition for those who want it. There will also be an opportunity to sign up for charity membership and local support groups.

In the afternoon, participants can also watch a live recording of the popular podcast, the Movers and Shakers, about life with Parkinson’s.

Paul Jackson Clark, Director of Fundraising and Experience, Parkinson’s UK, said,

“We would like to encourage everyone from the Birmingham Parkinson’s community to get involved and learn more about Parkinson’s UK and how we can support you to live better with the condition.

“The afternoon follows immediately after our Annual General Meeting, and is a unique opportunity to celebrate our community and help each other through shared experiences.”

Spaces are limited. If you are interested in attending, please email your name to [email protected] before Friday 29 September, at 9 am.
