Aims/priorities: Being active can have a significant impact on living well with Parkinson’s, regardless of symptoms or time since diagnosis.
Programme outcomes
It’s important that any opportunities we fund can demonstrate the following desired impact:
- People with Parkinson's become and stay active, or significantly increase their levels of activity if they are already active.
- More physical activity provision for everyone with Parkinson’s across the UK.
- Improved social wellbeing in people with Parkinson’s as a result of attending the project.
Programme priorities
We are looking for innovative and new projects that will:
● Help people with Parkinson’s become and stay active, or
● Help people with Parkinson’s who are already active to significantly increase their levels of physical activity.
Who can apply? The Parkinson’s UK Physical Activity Grants Programme supports activity providers, communities, networks, organisations and others to develop opportunities for people with Parkinson’s to become and stay active.
