Parkinson’s UK’s Physical Activity Grants programme is open again for the fifth successive year.
Parkinson’s UK first launched its physical activity grants in 2021 and since then the programme has delivered almost £700,000 in funding for activities across the UK over the past four years.
The funds have directly helped over 200 activity providers and exercise professionals to deliver classes and active projects for people living with Parkinson’s, many of them for free.
The Physical Activity Grants programme reopened in March 2025 with up to £3,000 available in funding per application.
Applications for the grants programme will close on Thursday 2 October 2025.
Applications can be made by any local community groups and clubs, exercise coaches, activity providers and physios who have a connection to the Parkinson’s community. Classes and activities can range from walking football and dance to table tennis and seated yoga, among many others.

● Better balance and coordination● Reduced risk of freezing and falls
