I have worked with many people with Parkinson’s and each time the same issues with accessing support and services local to them come up in our conversations. I have been told that in the East Riding, often the consultants and nurses are in different locations and the nearest Parkinson’s UK groups are in Hull or Scunthorpe. I am a member of the Scunthorpe branch as this is where I worked for the NHS and so have a lot of patients who attend this group. I saw first-hand how great support groups can be and also a need for a platform for professionals to provide advice to lots of people in one go to increase their awareness of what services/rehab sources there are in the area.
How can people get involved?

They can join us at one of our meetings. We had an amazing response to our Parkinson’s cafe event. If people want to come along and see if it is something they would like to attend they can or alternatively contact me to discuss it further. We are also open to engaging with local businesses that may wish to sponsor us.
What are you hoping the group will help with?
It will help people with Parkinson’s build relationships with each other and provide a much-needed support network. In addition to the social impact this will have and reducing isolation, talks from professionals who specialise in Parkinson’s rehabilitation will also aim to increase well-being and empower the group members to engage in therapies that they may not have known are available/would help. Examples are physio and exercise classes, occupational therapy including equipment and adaptations, speech and language therapy and dietry advice.
What are your plans for the future?
The plan is to engage with local groups and professionals to build a great programme of speakers for our group members. To bring services that are available in the Brigg/Hull area to Goole such as boxing and PD warrior, and plan social events. I would also like to set up a carers’ session focussing on how carers can get support (practical/financial) but also to provide a space for them to talk about their experience and speak to others in a similar situation which we know has huge benefits for their own health and well-being.
