Step Up for Parkinson’s

Step up for Parkinson’s is a Voluntary Organisation whose primary aim is to improve the quality of life of People with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) through the provision of dance therapy in Malta and Gozo. The organisation’s secondary aims include:

• raising awareness of PD both within Malta and beyond;
• research into dance therapy techniques for people with Parkinson’s (PWPs);
• creating an international network of experts in PD and the use of dance therapy for PWPs.

Step up for Parkinson’s was also the Changemakers winner where they pitched their initiative Parkinson's Centre. Offering specialised care under different schemes to accompany the free dance therapy classes already being offered by Step Up For Parkinson’s, the Parkinson’s Centre shall also offer value added benefits of specialised healthcare practitioners, and will house the overall functions related to therapy, professional advice and a place to call home, also offering respite for family members.

Step Up for Parkinson’s need more help to reach their funding target for their Parkinson's Centre. For more information on how to support this initiative financially visit their crowdfunding page here.
