We are looking for commitee members to help make decisions and plan how the finances of the groups are managed. We also need volunteers to help at activities.
Why we want you
Local groups across the UK are run by volunteers and offer friendship and support to people living with Parkinson's and their families and friends. The friendly faces and warm welcome provided by branch volunteers means attendees get the most from the group, with the activities on offer running smoothly.

- Honest; you'll know when to ask for help, or when tasks might be seen as less important, and able to share that with Parkinson's UK and your group
What's in it for you
- You'll make new friends and meet new people, both in the branch and in the local community
- You'll be making a real difference for people affected by Parkinson's in your community
