Parkinson’s UK is appealing for volunteers to support a new monthly Parkinson’s café in Rye, East Sussex. The group co-ordinator role will involve welcoming attendees, liaising with the venue, and sharing updates from the charity. The café aims to provide a relaxed, friendly space where people affected by Parkinson’s can meet others and access local peer support.

Elisa Bienz, volunteer co-ordinator at Parkinson’s UK, said: “If you can spare a few hours a month, we would love to welcome you to volunteer with the Parkinson’s café in Rye. As well as making a real difference in your local community, volunteering is a great opportunity to gain new experiences and meet new people.”
