We know many of you listen to the Award-winning Movers & Shakers podcast featuring Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Nick Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman. Although we manage to joke about the condition, Parkinson’s is not an easy illness to tolerate and we, the Movers and Shakers, have been both moved and shaken by what our listeners have told us. As a result, we have come up with a Parky Charter - a list of things all Parkies should have a right to expect from a functioning health service and a caring care system. We now have the chance to take the Charter to 10 Downing Street on World Parkinson’s Day (April 11th).

Parkinson’s UK, Cure Parkinson’s and Spotlight Young Onset PD, support the principles of the Charter and are promoting it wherever they can. We also know how effective and persuasive petitions can be so if you agree with the Charter’s principles, please visit the web page below to sign the petition and please, please urge family and friends, healthcare professionals, everyone who cares about Parkinson’s, to sign it as well. The more people who can sign it before World Parkinson’s Day the more impact it will have.
