Many people think of Parkinson's as a disease of old age but there is increasing awareness that it can be found in any age group. Younger people are likely to have some priorities which are different from the concerns of older people with Parkinson's. For example, work, bringing up children, travel, sport, driving and computers all bring distinct challenges - and possibilities.

This initiative is for anyone in Lanarkshire with Parkinson's who thinks of themself as 'young' - and their partners, carers, friends and family. The steering group offered some detailed proposals at the launch meeting but there are two central ideas.

Currently, the group meets once a fortnight at 7pm in Weavers' Cottages, Airdrie. New members and interested people are always welcome. The next meetings are as follows:
