Parkinson’s UK provides grants of between £500 and £3,000 to support physical activity projects for people with Parkinson’s across the UK.
The aims of the programme are to:
o Help people with Parkinson’s become and stay active, and
o Help people with Parkinson’s who are already active to significantly increase their levels of physical activity.
The Foundation will expect the following outcomes from any grant it awards:
o People with Parkinson’s become and stay active, or significantly increase their levels of activity if they are already active.
o More physical activity provision for everyone with Parkinson’s across the UK, and
o Improved social wellbeing in people with Parkinson’s as a result of attending the project.
Applicants must:
o Be based in the UK.
o Have a business or community bank account as funds cannot be transferred into a personal account.
o Where applicable, provide evidence of your articles of association and constitution or other relevant governing documents (this doesn’t apply to organisations that are set up for profit).
o Consult with their local Parkinson’s UK Area Development Manager. Please ensure that you contact the relevant local staff of the area you propose to deliver in. They can provide you with local insight and support you with evidencing the local need for your project, and
o Ensure that all relevant qualifications are held and insurance is in place prior to the delivery of the project.
Applications may be made at any time following the guidance on the Parkinson’s UK website.
