SUPPORT POETS WITH PARKINSON'S IN 2025

We are Poets with Parkinson's, an international community of more than 80 poets living with Parkinson's disease. The Poets' Wall is our online home that provides a platform for us and others like us to collaborate, learn and showcase our art. It was created in 2022 and has been maintained since by fundraisers like this. Our running costs for 2025 will be £600 just to maintain our current activities but there is more we could do.

Parkinson's is the world's fastest growing neurological condition and causes problems in the brain which worsen over time. There are over 40 symptoms which affect our mental and physical health. Many of us live daily with mobility, mood, sleep and speech problems, but we have found that writing gives us joy, self-confidence and a sense of belonging. It has become our passion, our therapy and our voice. Sometimes poetry says what we are literally unable to speak.

Can you help to give our normally quiet voices a place to be heard? If you can spare it how about donating £10, 10 Euro or $10? Every penny or cent raised will go into continuing our work for Poets with Parkinson's

Thank you
