Today, on 11th April 2026, we observe World Parkinson's Day — a day dedicated to raising awareness about Parkinson's disease, a progressive neurological disorder affecting nearly 10 million people worldwide.

Parkinson’s changes how people move, speak, and live their daily lives. This year’s theme, "𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗚𝗮𝗽," highlights the urgent need for equitable access to specialist care, affordable treatment, and comprehensive support for everyone affected by Parkinson’s.

𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀
- Parkinson’s is the fastest-growing neurodegenerative disease globally.
- Early diagnosis improves quality of life.
- Care involves medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle management, and sometimes surgery.
- The red tulip symbolizes hope and solidarity in this ongoing fight.

Let’s stand together to spread awareness, reduce stigma, support caregivers, and push for better treatment and research.

World Alzheimer’s Day — 21 Sept 2025: Alzheimer’s is not just forgetfulness or a normal part of ageing. Early signs—memory loss affecting daily life, confusion about time or place, trouble finding words, or personality changes—should prompt a respectful conversation and a medical check-up; early diagnosis and support can improve quality of life for people living with dementia and their families. This year’s theme, “Ask About Dementia. Ask About Alzheimer’s,” urges everyone to speak up, challenge stigma, and build dementia-friendly communities.

You can help by learning the warning signs, offering practical or emotional support to carers, and sharing accurate information so myths don’t spread; donate or volunteer with local Alzheimer’s organisations to fund care and research. Share to raise awareness and support someone today.
