Banbury Parkinson’s Group hold coffee morning on World Parkinson’s Day
World Parkinson’s Day is on Saturday 11 April 2026, and Banbury Parkinson’s Group are holding a drop in Coffee Morning from 10.30am – 12.30pm to shine a light on Parkinson's.
Why not come along to the RVS Cornhill Centre, Castle St, Banbury OX16 5NT and enjoy coffee and cake and find out what’s on offer for people living with Parkinson’s in the Banbury area. Each year, World Parkinson’s Day celebrates the global Parkinson’s community and shows support for people living with the condition.
Parkinson's is on the rise, affecting around 166,000 people in the UK. To mark World Parkinson’s Day this year, Parkinson’s UK is encouraging everyone to come together, raise awareness, and build connections.
Across the UK, celebrations organised by Parkinson’s UK branches, groups and volunteers will be taking place. Alongside the charity's helpline and website, the regular in-person, support activities offer a local lifeline to people at every stage of their Parkinson’s journey, twelve months of the year.
Don Rogers, Chair of Banbury Parkinson’s Group says: "As someone living with Parkinson’s, seeing the community come together like this is incredibly moving. World Parkinson’s Day is about shining a light on the challenges we face and the support that’s available. By hosting this event on Saturday 11 April, we’re showing that no one is alone with Parkinson’s."
Caroline Rassell, Chief Executive at Parkinson’s UK, said: “We are delighted that Banbury Parkinson's Group are showing their support for World Parkinson’s Day by holding this drop in Coffee Morning and helping to spread awareness of Parkinson’s.
“However you mark World Parkinson’s Day this April, you’re part of an incredible community - raising awareness, funding vital research, and making sure people know about support available to them both locally and centrally through the charity. We are always inspired by all the ways people get involved, and with everyone’s creativity, generosity and dedication, we can really be there for every Parkinson's journey."
