It is estimated that 1 in 20 people diagnosed with Parkinson's is under the age of 60.

Sometimes people are diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson's Disease much younger than 60. We have chosen not to set an age limit for this group and to invite all people of 'working age' to attend these informal meetings, whether they have Parkinson's or are married and/or care for someone with Parkinson's who is of 'working age'.

All new members are very welcome to attend, please feel free to turn up or to find out more please contact Mark Church at [email protected]. It is an informal gathering and a chance to share experiences and hopefully a few smiles and laughs with people in a similar situation and age to yourself.

We usually meet from 7pm at the Hydro Hotel, Mount Road, Eastbourne, BN20 7HZ. If you walk up the steps as you pass hotel reception on your left, we meet on the left hand side before you get to the bar.

Meetings are usually on the 3rd Thursday of each month but please keep an eye on this website as occasionally dates may change!
