Understanding Parkinson's

Parkinson’s is a progressive neurodegenerative condition. Whether you are newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s, a care partner, or someone who has had PD for a number of years, we aim to support you and provide you with the information and support that you need.

Our Services

Parkinson’s Ireland has a range of national and local services throughout the country. These services include our freephone Parkinson’s nurse helpline, online classes and local in-person exercise classes and support groups.

Research

Through our Research & Impact Committee, we fund and support various research projects. We keep our members and the public updated on research that is taking place globally, in an effort to improve treatments and find a cure.

Ways to Help

We receive the majority of our income from fundraising and donations. There are multiple ways you can support us and the work we do for people with Parkinson’s, their loved ones and care partners.

About Us

Parkinson’s Ireland was founded in 1987. Find out more about our work, our strategic plan and our Board and Executive.
