PSP and CBD are rare and little known. Education Volunteers can improve this situation. Our volunteers raise awareness with health and social care professionals and in local communities by offering informative talks to interested groups. These talks are set up on an ad hoc basis, a small number of times in a year and as close as possible to the volunteers’ local area - A driving licence and access to a car is desirable.
