The Scarborough Branch of Parkinson's UK has launched the new service.
A new group has been launched in Scarborough to support carers of people living with Parkinson's.
Emma is the chair of the Scarborough Branch of Parkinson's UK.
She says the new session provides a safe space for carers to talk.
The Scarborough Branch of Parkinson's UK runs a Support and social group meeting every Thursday from 2pm to 4pm at Wreyfield Drive Methodist Church.
The group say:
"We usually organise a guest speaker, not always Parkinson's related, followed by refreshments, kurling, board games, gentle exercise and social activities."
On the second Thursday of every month they run a breakout session for carers. It provides a safe space where carers can talk and get help with any problems.
Emma says the support for carers is much needed.
Parkinson's is the fastest growing neurological condition in the world, and currently there is no cure. 1 in 37 people alive today in the UK will be diagnosed with Parkinson's in their lifetime.Estimates show that around 145,000 people currently live with a Parkinson's diagnosis in the UK.
