Parkinson's UK - Grants for Physical Activity Providers

Parkinson's UK are offering grants of up to £3,000 to support physical activity projects for people with Parkinson's across the UK.

This year, funding is focused on people who are currently inactive, helping them begin to engage in physical activity and sustain their participation. To make activities more accessible, we're also supporting 'gateway activities'. These are movement‑based sessions that build confidence and encourage interest in becoming more active.
