The Parkinson's Association of Ireland was established in 1987 as a company limited by guarantee. Our charity is based in Dublin, with branches throughout the country. Our aim is to assist people with Parkinson's, their families and carers, health professionals and interested others, by offering support, a listening ear, and information on any aspect of living with Parkinson's and we also initiate and fund research into Parkinson's disease, its causes and affects.

Our association chose the Aspen leaf logo as a symbol of Parkinson's as the Aspen leaf trembles even on a still day but the branches and trunk of the tree are sturdy and strong.

Our office is open weekdays from 9am to 5pm and is staffed by our Helpline Manager and Office Manager, Pauline Mahady, and we have been joined by Nicola Kavanagh, who is our Parkinson's Nurse. We have also recently been joined by Sabrina Fagan who is our Fundraising and Communications Officer..

We can send you information about Parkinson's (if we don't have it to hand we will either find it for you or refer you on), treatments, information about your rights and entitlements, exercise classes, meetings, etc.
If you would like to talk directly to Sabrina in relation to your planned fundraiser please email [email protected] or phone 01 8722234.
