Welcome to the Eastbourne Parkinson’s UK Support Group Community!

No one should ever have to navigate Parkinson’s on their own. Whether you've been diagnosed yourself, or you're a family member, friend, carer, or colleague, you are so welcome here. With around 900 people in the Eastbourne area living with Parkinson’s, the ripple effect touches so many of us—and our doors are open to everyone.

We’re a warm, vibrant local group of around 140 members who come together for mutual support, practical advice, and plenty of genuine connection. Here is a quick look at what’s happening in our community:

• Monthly Get-Togethers & Outings: Between 40 and 60 of us meet regularly for friendly catch-ups, fun local events, relaxed coach trips, and community fundraising.

• Well-being: Members regularly connect through hydrotherapy and physiotherapy sessions hosted at our local hospital, weekly exercise activities and our working age group.

• Our Group Choir: We have a hugely popular choir that practices weekly, bringing joy (and music!) to local care homes and community events.

Take a look around our site to see what we’re up to. If you’re thinking about joining us, please do—even if your loved one with Parkinson’s isn't ready to attend, you are still warmly invited to come along on your own. We’d love to meet you!
