The grant scheme helps fund activity providers to give people with Parkinson’s more opportunities to get and stay active.

Who can apply?
Applicants must:

● be based in the UK

● have a business/community bank account as funds cannot be transferred into a personal account

● Where applicable, provide evidence of your articles of association, constitution or other relevant governing documents (this doesn’t apply to organisations that are set up for profit)

● consult with their local Parkinson’s UK Area Development Manager (contact information is provided on the grants webpage). Parkinson’s UK colleagues are not there to help with writing your application, but may offer information and support by connecting you with people with Parkinson’s, linking you to existing networks or advising on provision and community priorities or needs in the area

● ensure that all relevant qualifications are held and insurance is in place prior to delivery of the project

Grant Value
In 2024 applications can be made for a minimum of £500 up to a maximum of £3000. Up to 100% of costs are available if required (if the criteria is met, to a maximum of £3000 and at the discretion of the awarding panel).

Opening / Closing dates
In 2024 the application period will open on Monday 3 June. It is a rolling programme and applications will be accepted until all of the funding has been allocated. Please note that although this is a rolling programme they will close early should funds be allocated sooner, due to the number of applications received and the popularity of the programme.
