Groups for people with Parkinson's in the Vale of Glamorgan can apply for grants from Parkinson's UK to help keep sufferers active.

The charity is offering up to £3,000 in funding for communities linked to the condition throughout Wales.

These funds are available through Parkinson's UK's Physical Activity Grants programme, now in its fourth year, which aims to assist more individuals living with Parkinson's in staying active in 2024.

Applications are open for physical activity providers, leisure groups, sports clubs, national governing bodies, and Parkinson's groups, among others.

The deadline for applications is November 15.

Since the initiative's inception in 2021, Parkinson's UK has awarded more than £554,000 to 242 active projects across the UK.

These projects have included activities such as wheelchair rugby, table tennis, walking football, and hydrotherapy.

Roma Hashim, physical activity grants manager for Parkinson’s UK, said: "We are delighted to be delivering our Physical Activity Grants programme for the fourth successive year and we hope to be able to help even more people living with Parkinson’s to enjoy an active lifestyle with the condition.

"Whether you are part of a national sports association, you work with a local exercise group, or you are passionate about getting people active, then why not apply for the grants in 2024?"

Parkinson's has more than 40 symptoms and being active can help to manage the condition.

Applications can be made for amounts ranging from £500 to £3,000.
