Hello and Welcome.

We are people living with Parkinson’s, their families, friends and care-partners across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

Join us to experience:

a warm and friendly local community
lots of weekly classes and events
meaningful support and advice
a positive focus on wellbeing

Friendship from a wonderful group of people, useful source of information, support for each other, interesting talks accompanied by tea, coffee and biscuits.

Our branch is a most valuable asset for all of us with PD. It provides an incredible number of activities for all tastes and abilities. We get support from each other.

The branch keeps me connected with activities and people that help keep me healthy in body and spirit. A sense of hopeful community and laughter.

It’s good to meet up and share experiences. There’s always a listening ear. Such a great variety of groups and classes.

Has been a constant positive since I became involved in 2000.
