Parkinson's is not a "White person disease". It's a global issue that keeps growing & our research cohorts need to represent our communities better. We have a lot to do, but listening to the community to understand their needs and what can be done to include them more in research is a great start🤗

Pleased to share our new work. Black communities face higher Parkinson’s disease burden, but we know they remain underrepresented in research.
We highlight the key barriers - distrust, stigma, and accessibility - and offer community-driven recommendations to increasing research engagement.

3 Shocking truths about the Parkinson’s care landscape we are confronting today at the World Parkinson's Summit:
1- The Parkinson’s care journey is fragmented and failing many. 2- There is no global standard of care and that’s a problem. 3- Caregivers are the invisible casualties of this disease.

Today is the first day of Carers Week 2025.

As the only dementia charity officially part of Carers Week, we are delighted Lewy Body Society supporter Paul Stone has shared his story as a carer in the Carers Week report 2025: Caring About Equality.

#CarersWeek #DementiaCarers #Lewybodydementia

A new Carers Week report has found millions of unpaid carers feel disadvantaged and are unable to prioritise their own health needs and struggle with employment.
