Parkinson’s UK Scotland Parliamentary Reception

Parkinson’s UK in Scotland packed out The Scottish Parliament to showcase some of the ways people keep active to live well with Parkinson’s. I was delighted to attend and find out more about the fantastic work going on in my own area and across Scotland. Because living with Parkinson’s isn’t just about healthcare. People also need opportunities to reap the physical, mental and social benefits of being active and creative.

More than 200 people attended the event, including people with Parkinson’s and many activity providers, health professionals, researchers and supporters.

It was a brilliant celebration of the power of physical activity to help people live well with Parkinson’s.
