PARKINSON’S CARE AND SUPPORT UK TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

The Charity Registration number is 1179246.

Structure, Governance and Management

After significant gaps in integrated healthcare and care within the Parkinson’s community were identified in 2017, Parkinson’s Care and Support UK (PCSUK) was registered to address these issues. PCSUK was officially registered in England and Wales on 18 July 2018 and in Scotland in December 2018.

The Charity is governed by a Board of Trustees which make all medium and longer-term strategic decisions. Day to day running of the Charity is overseen by the Chairman and his trustees. The team of trustees are responsible for the delivery of the long-term strategy of the 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. Parkinson’s Care and Support UK is pleased to announce that three new Board members have been appointed: Mr. Mark Meikle (Chairman), Mr William Oakley, and Mrs Nicole Edwards. These new Board members have replaced Mr Paul Morgan and Ms Debbie Morgan who were a part of the charity since its formation in 2018 and bring a wealth of experience in working with people with Parkinson’s Disease and holistic healthcare.

What makes Parkinson’s Care and Support UK different?

PARKINSON’S CARE AND SUPPORT UK

TRUSTEES’ REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

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 within the best of our capabilities. We lead discussions in innovative complementary and integrated 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 small, but very impactful. 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

Parkinson’s Care and Support UK is the only UK charity which focuses on Integrated 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 CARE AND SUPPORT UK TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

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 in order 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 the effects of Parkinson’s disease no longer limit people.

Although PCSUK actively invest in tomorrow, by funding non-pharmaceutical 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. PCSUK strive to create a world where people are no longer limited by the effects of Parkinson’s Disease.

Neurological Physiotherapy

The charity’s home-based neurological physiotherapy service continues to be oversubscribed meaning that we have more demand than we can financially support. The charity continues to prioritise this service, and during 2023/ 2024, the charity has spent more on neurological physiotherapy than the previous financial year. Our free home-based Neurological Physiotherapy service is the only of its kind offered to people with Parkinson’s throughout the UK. It 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 home-based physiotherapy for people living with Parkinson’s. Our home physiotherapy has proved to benefit many people with Parkinson’s disease, there has been improvement in beneficiary’s physical health and ability to carry out daily activities.

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 November 2023 to October 2024, PCSUK has provided home- based Neurological Physiotherapy to 96 people across the UK living with Parkinson’s, over that period the cost of our home Neurological Physiotherapy service totalled to £39,900.00 .

PARKINSON’S CARE AND SUPPORT UK TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

Respite Care

From November 2023 to October 2024, PCSUK has been working with Parkinson’s Specialist Carers to provide Respite Care for family carers of those living with Parkinson’s Disease throughout the UK. PCSUK understand that caring for a loved one with Parkinson’s can be extremely challenging and carers often struggle to find time for themselves, compromising their own health and wellbeing. PCSUK’s Respite Care service is designed to give family carers up to 4 hours’ respite in one day, allowing the carer to take well deserved time for rest and recuperation, wellness, exercise, health and social activities. This service has been very well received by the Parkinson’s community and has proved to be very popular. With an increasing number of referrals from the NHS and local community groups, the service is currently oversubscribed. It is the charity’s priority to raise more funds to support the demand for the service.

PCSUK have provided respite care for 45 families during the current financial year, costing £56,365.00. This is one family more than what the charity supported in the previous year. As Respite Care for people with Parkinson’s is not available via the NHS, the demand for this service throughout the UK is rapidly increasing. We are committed to expand this service over the coming years.

The Respite Care service is 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 form. The charity always uses one of our certified care providers to carry out stage two (the home assessment).

Exercise Classes

Research has shown that exercise can slow down the progression of Parkinson’s and is an essential therapy in everyone life and especially for people with Parkinson’s. Our specialist exercise class provide great physical and mental benefits for people with Parkinson’s and their carers and improves overall quality of life.

PCSUK has kept its online Parkinson’s Specialist Exercise Classes operating and since the charity was established have expanded the number and variety of classes available. The provision of free exercise classes for people with Parkinson’s is one of our core services. The charity is the first of its kind to provide free specialist exercise classes face to face across the UK and online. The type of classes provided include: Zhineng Qigong, Parkinson’s Yoga and Mindfulness Yoga, Boxercise for Parkinson’s, Gentle Fitness Classes for Parkinson’s, Parkinson’s Exercise to Music and Group Neurological Physiotherapy.

We recognise the importance of face to face exercise classes and so will now be applying for funding to support specific classes in areas throughout the UK. All classes will be run via restricted funds received from grants, foundations and donors and therefore the starting up and continuation of these classes will be dependent upon such funding.

PARKINSON’S CARE AND SUPPORT UK TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

Over the term, we have spent £16,731.97 on exercise classes and activities which have benefited over 130 people. This includes two one-off sporting events and some Parkinson’s exercise training. Our classes 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. We have seen a big demand for our exercise classes across the UK and we have secured some collaborations with Care Homes across London to start rolling out group within their facilities.

All our Specialist Exercise Instructors are fully qualified, have experience of working with people with Parkinson’s and have specific Parkinson’s training from Parkinson’s Care and Support UK. These comprised of personal trainers, fitness instructors, and certified teachers in a variety of disciplines such as Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, and Neurological Physiotherapy.

Events

During November 2023 to October 2024, PCSUK held 3 events focussed on education and information sharing, stewardship and relationship building and reducing isolation. During 2025, we have 3 community events planned which will be focussed on improving wellbeing, reducing isolation and loneliness and raising awareness of Parkinson’s Disease and how to improve quality of life with the condition. The charity will continue to raise funds to support these events, which we would like to roll out in various counties throughout the UK.

The Parkinson’s Mental Health Support Hub

The Parkinson’s Mental Health Support Hub is the world’s first and only mental health support system specifically for people affected by Parkinson’s.

People often think that Parkinson’s only affects you physically. This couldn’t be further from the truth. Parkinson’s Disease can have a big impact on one’s mental well-being 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,those who are approaching end of life and carers of those with Parkinson’s

PARKINSON’S CARE AND SUPPORT UK

TRUSTEES’ REPORT (CONTINUED) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024

The hub opened on 11[th] April 2021 and originally had four services. We have expanded over the past year to include five 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.

  5. Lean on Me- a Talk Therapy service for carers of those with Parkinson’s and a couples Talk Therapy service for those who are in a relationship and in which at least one of the people has Parkinson’s. Carers often feel isolated, overwhelmed and need a safe place to express their feelings without the feeling of guilt, shame or being judged. Talk therapy is a safe a secure way of doing this. Relationships can also suffer due to a Parkinson’s diagnosis and the provision of talk therapy provides a safe and supported platform to encourage communication, empathy and understanding.

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

All of our services are free and are funded by the general public and trusts and foundations via our fundraising efforts.

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, the loss of a loved one with Parkinson’s or who are caring for a loved one with the condition.

From November 2023 to October 2024, the Parkinson’s Mental Health Hub has supported over 230 people across all services, costing the charity £54,000 . This is almost double the amount spent during the previous year and exceeds the budget of what was spent during the first year of launching the service. This year, we have received an incredible number of applications from the community and via referrals by the NHS. We are still oversubscribed for some of our services within the Hub and continue to place emphasis on fundraising for these vital services as a priority.

Visiting Care

Parkinson’s Care and Support UK have been working with Parkinson’s Specialist Carers over the past year 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 of a reduced quality of life, injury or falls, malnutrition and mental health problems. Since the Covid-19 pandemic, the most vulnerable people with Parkinson’s have continued to suffer declining health and wellbeing.

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, facilitating engagement with local community activities and attending health appointments. This service is provided throughout the UK and even in rural and low populated areas.

During this financial period, PCSUK awarded visiting care to 42 vulnerable people with Parkinson’s costing a total £27,000 .

Occupational Therapy

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 and information 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 greatest risk of falls and who have not been able to secure any intervention or support from the NHS.

During November 2023 to October 2024, Parkinson’s Care and Support UK provided occupational therapy for 26 families, and a total of £10,075 was spent during the course of the year . The charity will be aiming to raise more funds to support this service which will reflect in the number of people that we are able to support over the forthcoming year.

Therapies

Parkinson’s Care and Support UK have funded a wide range of holistic therapies throughout the financial year which have been proven to improve the quality of life of those affected by Parkinson’s. These include massage, singing, speech and language, acupuncture, yoga, Reiki and Emmet Therapy. The charity is committed to raising awareness of holistic and complimentary healthcare as well as the provision and training of such services to slow down and reverse the effects of Parkinson’s.

Non-pharmaceutical research

The charity’s medium term goal is to continue to grow support for non-pharmaceutical research, including launching a public appeal to raise £2 million by 2027. By the end of 2025 we plan to launch a fundraising appeal to fund the opening of our first small grants scheme. The Preventing Parkinson’s Grant Fund will provide funding towards research projects that are focussed on the prevention of Parkinson’s Disease. Parkinson’s Care and Support UK believes that the prevention of the condition is just as important as a cure and this is needed to slow down the rate of growth.

Fundraising Activities

During November 2023 to October 2024, PCSUK raised £411,936.73 from fundraising events, activities, individual donors, trusts and foundations and legacies. This is an encouraging increase of over 11.5%from the amount raised in the previous financial year.

Fundraising appeals to individual donors, individual supporter events,a series of online fundraising appeals and legacies generated approximately 90% of the charity’s income between November 2023 and October 2024.

The charity received a small amount of funding from charitable trusts and has been spending more time fundraising in this area. We hope to see more support from trusts and foundations in the future as well as more legacy donations

Our Impact

On behalf of the beneficiaries of PCSUK, their families and the staff and volunteers at the charity, PCSUK will always be grateful for your support. We are grateful that an increasing number of individuals and organisations are aligning themselves with our mission to improve holistic care and quality of life for people affected by Parkinson’s. Their generosity in helping to fund our life changing services has maximised our impact and helped us to give holistic health care and wellbeing the investment it deserves.
