UK: Parkinson's Help Is Here In Notts 12:00 - 06 October 2004 Advice for people with Parkinson's Disease and their carers is available at a series of events to be held later this month. The informal gatherings are run by The Parkinson's Disease Society Area Development Committee and they will feature medical information, benefits advice and guidance on where carers can find support. The Society is also keen to set up a new Nottingham branch to support those affected by the condition. The events will take place from 10am to 2pm at: The Lovelace Centre, (previously called the Hucknall Community Centre), Ogle Street, Hucknall, on Friday, October 22; The Park Gate Youth & Community Centre, Chamberlain Close, Clifton, on Wednesday, October 27 and The West Bridgford Community Centre, Church Drive, West Bridgford, on Thursday, October 28. Vina Shah, a spokeswoman for society, said many people with Parkinson's, especially those who developed the condition at a young age, did not make use of the local support, because they thought they would be uncomfortable with older people. But there is established, dedicated support for young people with Parkinson's in Nottingham and opportunities to link up with others of a similar age, she said.
