“That’s why I’m delighted we are hosting this event in Salford. It’s a great chance for people to find out more about local activities and support, meet our local adviser, and chat with others who are living with or caring for someone with Parkinson’s.”
Around 153,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with Parkinson’s, including around 5,440 in Greater Manchester.
