Episode The Funding Machine
This week, the Movers & Shakers are joined in the pub by our friends from Cure Parkinson's and Parkinson's UK. They are two of the charities working so hard to find ways of dealing with Parkinson's and improving the lives of those with the condition. But they also face huge challenges. Is enough being invested in research? Are the charities forced to compete with one another for limited resources? And what is the rule of the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the huge American body that operates at a much larger scale than its UK counterparts? We're talking about all this – and more! – on today's episode.
It's not too late to write to your MP ahead of next Monday's debate – you can do so here.
