The free event is for friends and family members who are caring for someone with Parkinson’s. Attendees will have the opportunity to obtain information and meet with Parkinson’s UK group members and staff.

The local Parkinson’s Nurse Specialist will be there too.

Local woman Sheila McQuaid cares for her husband Frank who has Parkinson’s. Sheila explains: “Every hour someone in the UK is told they have Parkinson’s, but at the moment there is no cure.
