Parkinson's UK Stirling and Clacks Support Group are a volunteer led, self-funded support group, affiliated to Parkinson’s UK, operating across the Stirling and Clackmannanshire area. Their aim is to help support people living with Parkinson’s, including their partners/carers, families and friends, to achieve a better quality of life. They offer information, advice, friendship and the opportunity to share their experiences with those who understand the challenges of living with Parkinson’s. Through their activities, they focus on promoting physical and mental wellbeing by reducing social isolation and keeping our members stimulated and active.
