Parkinson’s changes lives. From the day of diagnosis, people with Parkinson’s and their loved ones need to know we’re by their side.

We need your help to provide personalised information, services and opportunities, from day one, to many more people affected by the condition.

In Henfield, we have a cafe for people with Parkinson’s and their friends and families to come and informally get to know other people in their situation. The cafe takes place on the last Tuesday of the month from 10.30am-12pm at the Henfield Haven so people can just pop along for a cuppa and an informal catch-up and chat. We’re looking for an activity leader to help run the sessions. Everyone pays for their own refreshments so the activity leader will just need to contact the cafe to make sure there is a space available each month and greet people when they arrive.
