Parkinson's UK supports activity providers, national governing bodies, Parkinson's groups and branches, and sports and healthcare professional who are based and operating within the UK.
For a fifth year, grants of between £500 and £3,000 are available to support physical activity projects for people with Parkinson's within the UK.
The funding is for projects that can demonstrate the following desired impact:
- People with Parkinson's become and stay active, and/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.
Priority will be given to innovative and new projects that will help people with Parkinson's:
- Become and stay active, or
- Who are already active to significantly increase their levels of physical activity.
Projects should reach and engage with a wide range of people with Parkinson's especially those who may be from the following groups:
- Newly diagnosed.
- Young onset.
- People and groups seen as 'under represented' - including socially isolated, not digitally connected or ethnic communities.
- People who are not engaged with Parkinson's UK.
- People who are inactive, or active at low levels.
- People who are still working.
Projects must run for a minimum of three months and a maximum of 12 months and must start within three months of receiving the grant.
The funder is planning to provide specific grants to support physical activity projects for people with Parkinson's from marginalised communities and underrepresented groups. Further details are expected later this year.
Parkinson's UK will be hosting the following free 'Meet the Funder' webinars:
- 19 March 25 (10:00 - 11:00)
- 8 April 25 (14:00 - 15:00)
Registration is required and can be done via the funder's website.
Applications are open and will be accepted until all of the funding has been allocated.
