PARKINSON’S CARE AND SUPPORT UK

TRUSTEES’ REPORT

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020

The Charity Registration number is 1179246.

Structure, Governance and Management

The Charity is governed by a Board of Trustee which make all medium and longer- term strategic decisions. Day to day running of the Charity is overseen by the Chairman and his trustees. This team of trustees are responsible for the delivery of the long-term strategy of this Charity.

Each Trustee appointed or whose appointment is approved or ratified by the charity in a general meeting will have an initial three-year term of office. There is an option of renewal for a further three years by agreement between them. July 2024 will mark the end of the second term for each trustee to be considered for reappointment. This is done by means of recruitment process that will be carried out to replace the members of the Board if required, or to appoint additional board members.

In 2017 Mr Paul Silly, Miss Debbie Morgan, Mr Paul Morgan and Mr Kovi Noukounou having direct experience of Parkinson’s Disease, identified significant gaps in the Parkinson’s community including a lack of integrated, multifaceted healthcare for people with the condition as well as practical and physical support and services for carers. Parkinson’s Care and Support UK (PCSUK) was registered to address these issues. PCSUK was officially registered in England on 18 July 2018 and in Scotland on 03 December 2018 with Paul Silly as Chairman.

Strategy and activities

Services and Core Activities

Parkinson’s Care and Support UK is the only UK charity which focuses on Integrative Healthcare, Wellness, Care and Complementary therapies to improve life with Parkinson’s and to ensure that people live better for longer.

Although we fund non-pharmaceutical research into how we can slow down, reverse or even prevent the onset of Parkinson’s, we are mindful that thousands of people living with the condition need support today. Through our work we encourage positivity and promote the importance of being proactive about health and wellbeing. People with Parkinson’s do not need pity or sympathy. They need to be understood, given clear and unbiased information, services and care that will enable life to be lived to the fullest.

Parkinson’s is a combination of many symptoms in which no two people have the same experience. Parkinson’s Care and Support UK does not believe in simply masking symptoms with medications. We believe that for people with Parkinson’s to live as best as possible within their individual capabilities, a multifaceted approach is needed and that an integrative healthcare plan should be in place for every person with Parkinson’s from diagnosis to end of life. PCSUK strives to create a world where people are no longer limited by the effects of Parkinson’s disease.

Parkinson’s Care and Support UK:

Our Mission

Parkinson’s Care and Support UK improves the lives of everyone affected by Parkinson’s Disease today, not tomorrow. We don’t believe in masking symptoms, but to manage and minimise them as best as possible, within our capabilities. We lead discussions in innovative complementary therapies for Parkinson’s and educate and empower people with Parkinson’s, carers and healthcare professionals to be proactive about comprehensive and multidisciplinary health care and wellbeing in order to live better for longer. We strive to prevent, slow down, reverse and end Parkinson’s through funding new, innovative, biochemically based non-pharmaceutical research.

How We Work

We are a small, but very impactful charity. We are confident that every service we provide makes a DIRECT impact on the lives of those affected by Parkinson’s. We believe in keeping our administration and staff costs to a minimum so that your money is spent on making a real difference to those living with Parkinson’s today.

We listen to our donors. Billions of pounds have been spent on Parkinson’s research worldwide over the past 30 years. There have been little advances on medications, and sadly we are nowhere near a cure. People do not want false promises of cures or to be told a cure is coming in their lifetime, when it is not. That is why we will only fund non-pharmaceutical research that has real prospects of preventing, slowing down the progression or reversing Parkinson’s within 5 years.

Strategy and activities

Services and Core Activities (continued)

Although Parkinson’s Care and Support UK actively invests in tomorrow, by funding nonpharmaceutical research into how it can slow down, reverse or even prevent Parkinson’s, they are mindful that thousands of people living with the condition need real support today. The provisional of free integrated therapies and well-being services is what makes the charity so unique and impactful.

Exercise classes

Research has shown that exercise can slow down the progression of Parkinson’s and can improve both motor and non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s. Regular exercise is considered as medication for many people with Parkinson’s and is essential to living better with the condition. Parkinson’s Care and Support UK provides a wide range of free exercise classes which provide great physical and mental health benefits for people with Parkinson’s and their carers.

Between July 2019 and March 2020, Parkinson’s Care and Support UK provided its Parkinson’s Specialist Exercises Classes across the UK. The provision of free exercise classes for people with Parkinson’s is one of our core services. The charity is the first and only UK charity of its kind to provide free specialist exercise classes face to face across the UK for people with Parkinson’s. The type of classes provided by the charity include Parkinson’s Tai Chi, Parkinson’s Qigong, Parkinson’s Yoga and Mindfulness Yoga, Parkinson’s Beat Box and Beat Box Intense, Parkinson’s Exercise to Music, and Gentle Fitness Class for Parkinson’s. Due to Covid-19 and the Government restrictions, there has been a high demand for our online classes as face-to-face classes faced compulsory closure. The first 8 months before lockdown, we sourced 22 venues across UK where our classes were run. Unfortunately, all our venue-based classes have been closed due to Covid-19.

From March 2020, we launched 8 new online classes which benefited people with Parkinson’s throughout the whole of the UK. Over this financial period, we have spent £23,642.24 on our venuebased and online exercise classes which has helped over 300 people with Parkinson’s and their carers each month.

The exercise classes delivered by Parkinson’s Care and Support UK have been transforming lives and are continuing to help those affected with Parkinson’s by improving their balance, increasing mobility, strengthening muscles, improving flexibility, gait and mental health, reducing isolation, strengthening communities and so much more. We have seen a big demand for our venue-based and online exercise classes across England and so we are committed to keeping our online classes running after the lockdown ends to ensure that they are accessible to as many people as possible. We also intend on creating 10 new venue-based classes in addition to the existing ones after lockdown has ended. Neurological Psychotherapy

2019/2020 has been a challenging year for PCSUK. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns, the charity’s overall income across England and Wales and Scotland has significantly dropped, eventually all our venue-based classes across the UK were closed and all our face-to-face fundraising events had to be cancelled. Due to the Government restrictions and Covid19 safety requirements, visits to beneficiaries were limited and some appointments cancelled, however, video-based services were offered where suitable for the patient.

The charity has made exceptional progress with our home-based Neurological Physiotherapy services, which is designed to improve mobility, reduce falls, create independence,

and improve life for those affected by Parkinson’s disease. At PCSUK, we believe that everyone with Parkinson’s has the right to access physical support, regardless of where they live or how advanced their condition is, therefore PCSUK provide free home-based physiotherapy for people living with Parkinson’s. Our home physiotherapy has proved to be beneficial to many people with Parkinson’s disease, showing direct improvement our beneficiary’s physical health and ability to carry out daily activities. Our home physiotherapy has proved to improve confidence and independence. Many people with Parkinson’s disease have reported a significant improvement with their symptoms whilst benefiting from our home-based physiotherapy.

The home-based Neurological Physiotherapy service is awarded after a two-stage application process is successfully completed. This includes a home-visit to the beneficiary’s house to ascertain suitability and to create a personalised support plan. PCSUK uses an in-house scoring process to determine the success of stage one of the applications. The charity always uses one of our qualified Neurological Physiotherapists to carry out stage two (the home assessment).

From October 2019 to October 2020, PCSUK has provided home- based Neurological Physiotherapy to 12 people across the England living with Parkinson’s, over that period the total cost of our home physiotherapy amount to £8,410.00. The service is oversubscribed, and we receive far more applications from patients that we can fund. Subject to funding, we hope to expand our home-based Neurological Physiotherapy service in order to benefit more people with Parkinson’s over the forthcoming months.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER2020

Respite Care and Companionship

From July 2019 to October 2020, PCSUK has been working with Parkinson’s Specialist Carers to provide Respite Care and Companionship for family carers of those living with Parkinson’s disease throughout UK. PCSUK understand that caring for a loved one with Parkinson’s can be an extremely difficult task and carers often struggle to find time for themselves. Parkinson’s Care and Support UK’s Respite Care and Companionship services are designed to give family carers up to 4 hours respite and companionship in one day, allowing the carer to take time for rest and recuperation, wellness, exercise, health, and social activities. These services have been very well received by the Parkinson’s community and have proved to be very popular. During July 2019 to October 2020, PCSUK had provided respite and companionship for 15 families, costing the charity £10,278.46 . As many families’ carers are seeking more respite care and companionship, we are committed to expand our services in the coming years.

The Respite Care and Companionship services are awarded after a two-stage application process is successfully completed. This includes a home-visit to the beneficiary’s house to ascertain level of need, suitability and to create a personalised respite care plan. PCSUK uses an in-house scoring process to determine the success of stage one of the application forms. The charity always uses one of our certified care providers to carry out stage two (the home assessment).

Visiting Care

From July 2019 to October 2020, Parkinson’s Care and Support UK had been working with Parkinson’s Specialist Carers to provide home-based visiting care to support the most vulnerable people living with Parkinson’s. The most vulnerable people with Parkinson's are over 70 years old and live alone with no additional support. They are isolated and are at the most risk.

Due to Covid-19, people with Parkinson's have been placed at a direct disadvantage as they were told to stay at home and isolate. Many have been away from family, friends or social clubs for several months. As a result, health and wellbeing has declined. The effects of Covid-19 have put the most vulnerable with Parkinson's at the highest risk. Many are at risk of falls, malnutrition and have not been able to attend hospital appointments due to cancellations.

Visiting care includes help with personal hygiene and homecare chores such as cleaning and meal preparation. It provides much needed companionship to reduce isolation and improve wellbeing for vulnerable people living with Parkinson’s as well as support such as escorting to supermarket and attending health appointments.

During July 2019 to October 2020, PCSUK awarded 388 hours of visiting care, which benefitted 22 vulnerable people with Parkinson’s in UK costing the charity £10,090.45

Occupational Therapy

Occupational Therapy has been a new service offered by Parkinson’s Care and Support UK. The charity works with Occupational Therapists specialised in Parkinson’s Disease to increase independence and safety amongst people with Parkinson’s. Falling is the leading cause of death for people with Parkinson’s and so the home visiting, assessment and training service provides practical support to improve mobility, reduce falls, create independence and improve life for those affected by Parkinson’s disease. It also offers practical guidance and support for carers looking after their loved ones with Parkinson’s.

Our Occupational Therapy service is awarded after a two-stage application process is successfully completed. This includes a home-visit to the beneficiary’s house to ascertain suitability and to create a personalised support plan. Parkinson’s Care and Support UK uses an in-house scoring process to determine the success of stage one of the applications. The charity always uses one of our qualified Occupational Therapist, specialised in Parkinson’s Disease to carry out stage two (the home assessment). The service is suited for those who are at greatest risk of falls and who have not been able to secure any intervention or support from the NHS or privately.

During July 2019 to October 2020, Parkinson’s Care and Support UK provided occupational therapy for 42 families in the UK, which amounted to £7,275.40. The service is currently oversubscribed, but we hope to see a steady increase in the number of people we can support over the coming years.

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED)

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020

Social event Groups

During July 2019 to October 2020, Parkinson’s Care and Support UK spent time researching and planning new social events for people with Parkinson’s and their partners or family carers. These events were designed to improve wellbeing, reduce loneliness and isolation. In December 2019, the charity launched our venue based PDTogether Support Groups, which typically take place after exercise classes throughout the UK. These groups are peer to peer support groups which have a positive focus on Wellbeing, Holistic healthcare and Lifestyle choices to enable people to be proactive about their health and life with Parkinson’s. PDTogether Groups also organise social events and meets for friendship and fun throughout Scotland. Due to Covid-19 and the Government restrictions, we have brought our PDTogether Groups online, where people with Parkinson’s and their carers meet virtually on a regular basis to provide peer to peer support, socialise and reduce isolation. The charity also provides guest speakers who give presentations and information on various topics including nutrition, mental health, complementary therapies, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and much more. It has been a huge success especially during the lockdown, when people from the Parkinson’s community have faced immense isolation and loneliness. Over the term, we have spent £1,126.00 on PDTogether Groups which has helped over 300 people.

Non-pharmaceutical research

The charity’s short- term goal is to continue to grow support for non-pharmaceutical research, including launching a public appeal to raise £1 million by 2023. Due to Covid-19 and the strains with fundraising, we were unable to open our new Small Grants Scheme in September 2020 as planned and have now pushed this back to September 2022.

The Preventing Parkinson’s Grant Fund will provide funding towards research projects that are focussed on the prevention of Parkinson’s disease and raise awareness of this much important area of

We will ensure we make the most of every pound year-on-year and aim to ensure that, on average, at least 80p from every £1 goes to charitable activity. We aim to develop a strong brand and identity which supports our core values and beliefs around natural remedies and treatments for Parkinson’s disease.

The Parkinson’s Mental Health Support Hub

Parkinson’s Care and Support UK had planned to launch a single CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) Helpline in 2021. However, after consulting with the Parkinson’s community in 2020 and carrying out research regarding the emotional and mental health support available and needed for people affected by Parkinson’s, the trustees decided that it would launch the Parkinson’s Mental Health Support Hub instead. The Parkinson’s Mental Health Support Hub will be the world’s first and only mental health support system specifically for people affected by Parkinson’s.

7 | P a g e

England and Wales Charity Registration No.1179246

People often think that Parkinson’s only affects you physically. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Sadly, Parkinson’s Disease can have a big impact on one’s mental wellbeing and anxiety and depression are common non-motor symptoms of people living with Parkinson’s.

Up to 50% of people with Parkinson’s will suffer from Anxiety or Depression during the course of their illness. Many cases are undiagnosed or untreated, causing significant loss of life quality.

The Parkinson’s Mental Health Support Hub is designed to address and tackle the most common mental health issues within Parkinson’s whilst providing adequate support for newly diagnosed people and those who are approaching end of life.

The hub will provide four distinct services which include:

  1. Parkinson’s CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) – a GP referred service for people with Parkinson’s who are suffering from Anxiety or Depression, but who are not currently being treated. CBT is one the most successful treatments for people with Anxiety and Depression.

  2. Parkinson’s ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) – a self -referred service for people with Parkinson’s who may be struggling to accept their diagnosis. This service is particularly useful for newly diagnosed and those with YOPD (Young Onset Parkinson’s Disease).

  3. Parkinson’s End of Life and Bereavement Support Line – a support line for family carers whose loved one is coming towards the end of their life or for those who have lost a loved one with Parkinson’s. Grief is a natural process, but it can be devastating. We are here to support you before and after the death of someone close.

  4. Parkinson’s Befriending and Companionship Network – a service designed to reduce isolation and loneliness for people living with Parkinson’s through peer support and visiting care.

All of our services are free and are funded by the general public.

All of our therapies are carried out by qualified Psychotherapists, experienced in Neurological Psychotherapy.

Our aim of the Parkinson’s Mental Health Support Hub is to reduce isolation and loneliness, anxiety, depression and suicide rate amongst people with Parkinson’s, to improve wellbeing and quality of life amongst the newly diagnosed, those with YOPD and people who are experiencing end of life or the loss of a loved one with Parkinson’s.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2020

Fundraising Activities

During July 2019 to October 2020, PCSUK raised £119,229.90 from fundraising events and activities and from individual donors.

Small donor cultivation events, individual events, challenge events and general gifts between July 2019-March 2020, generated 90% of the charity’s income between July 2019 and October 2020. The charity has also received donations from social media fundraising such as Facebook birthday donations, individual fundraisers taking part in sponsored virtual events such as walks and cycling events.

Due to COVID-19 third party events booked from March 2020 onwards were cancelled until further notice and a revision of fundraising activities took place. Due to the lockdown and government guidelines on social distancing, Parkinson’s Care and Support UK were limited to the promotion of virtual and online fundraising, which was brand new territory for the charity. There was also an increase in trusts fundraising, which also had its challenges at this time.

Our Impact

On behalf of the beneficiaries of Parkinson’s Care and Support UK, their families and the staff and volunteers at the charity, the charity will always be grateful for your support. We are grateful that an increasing number of individuals are aligning themselves with our mission and are helping to fund our vital services, which despite the pandemic have been growing continuously and are reaching the most disadvantaged and marginalised groups within the Parkinson’s community.
