MHW is proud to support Northern Lights Parkinson’s Support Group in 2026
Parkinson’s Disease (for which there is presently no cure) is the fastest growing neurological condition affecting the lives of the 160,000 people diagnosed in the U.K. along with the millions of friends and members of their families who feel the impact of the symptoms.
Northern Lights Parkinson’s Support Group (NLPSG) aims to put a smile back on the face of people with Parkinson’s Disease by providing an opportunity for them get involved in sports, the arts and exercise which has been proven beneficial in their fight against the devastating condition .
One in 37 people will get a diagnosis in their lifetime, and projections suggest numbers will reach over 170,000 by 2030, with someone diagnosed every 20 minutes.
With numbers rising due to an aging population, it’s the world’s fastest-growing neurological condition.
NLPSG is a self funded voluntary support Charity for people living with Parkinson’s which is an incurable neurological condition which tries every day to take from them the activities they enjoy in life – its most basic pleasures.
Nominated as a Community Resource by Parkinson’s UK as we sit in a location which did not previously have a presence offering specific support for People with Parkinson’s.
We support people with Parkinson’s, their partners, families & carers – all of whom play a critical role in the management of the condition – & offer a range of activities across a broad spectrum including:
