In particular they wish to thank John and Ian from Atlantic Disco Roadshow for providing the disco free and Hawkshill Bowling Club for giving the room free and all businesses and people who gave raffle prizes and donations.

It is only through events like this and the efforts of people like Roy and Isabel that Parkinson’s UK can provide local support for people affected by Parkinson’s and fund world-leading research to find better treatments and ultimately a cure. We thank them and everyone else involved so much for their support.”
