Recently diagnosed?
A diagnosis of Parkinson’s is a major event in your life. It might be a total surprise, a relief after months of uncertainty, or a confirmation of suspicions. Whatever the background, it gives you much to consider and, in most cases, concern over what the future may hold.
Support for you
It can be tricky to find the help you need. Our support directory can guide you to resources from the NHS, charities like Parkinson's UK, commercial organizations, and from our own Oxford Branch.
Working Age Group - OxWAG
Although Parkinson’s most commonly affects those over 50, for some people it can begin much earlier.
Our Working Age Group is for PwP and their partners (and children, and pets!) Its purpose is to share concerns and offer support to each other within a social context.
What's On
In our events calendar you'll find regular weekly exercise classes and monthly meetings, occasional social events such as our twice-yearly lunch, and one-off activities where we raise funds or improve public awareness of Parkinson's.
