The Cure Parkinson's Trust

Mission Statement

We’re here for the cure! Everything we do is to move us closer to our goal, of finding new treatments to slow, stop or reverse the progression of Parkinson’s. Curing Parkinson’s needs world-class collaborative science involving researchers, clinicians, the pharmaceutical industry and, most importantly, people who are living with Parkinson’s. This collaboration is at the heart of our research programme. Our leadership and funding enables the world’s leading neuroscientists and neurologists to prioritise, together, the next generation of drugs for clinical trial. We’re acting with urgency, for people currently living with Parkinson’s, with a focus on clinical trials as well as research which has potential to translate into the clinic within five years. We’ve made significant progress towards our goal. As well as reshaping the approach to Parkinson’s research, we’ve directly funded, or secured funding, for over £75 million of clinical trials searching for a cure for Parkinson’s. But there’s so much more that we need to do. We have three strategic aims; we believe that if we deliver these, we are giving ourselves the best chance of realising our goal of finding a cure. 1. To work with the world’s leading scientists and clinicians to find a cure 2. To be an international catalyst in the search for a cure 3. To work with people affected by Parkinson’s to support, inform and accelerate the search for a cure
