No one has to face Parkinson’s alone
Since 2009, the Parkinson’s New Forest Branch has been meeting the needs of local people with Parkinson’s in the New Forest Area. This includes their spouses, partners, carers and other family members - we are here for everyone.
The Branch is run by a Committee of dedicated volunteers who are always looking for new ways in which they can help and support our members.
It is vital that people with Parkinson’s stay physically, mentally and socially active – our wide range of activities help to achieve this for our members.
We believe that people with Parkinson’s can still enjoy their lives and we aim to give them plenty of opportunities to do so.
