Play Your Part For Parkinson's
How It All Started
​
MPDA was founded in 2008 and was set up as the first association in Malta to provide support for persons living with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) along with their families. Today it is run by a committee of volunteers who dedicate their time to reaching the aims of the organisation. We are an enthusiastic group of individuals with one common aim: to improve the lives of people living with Parkinson’s in Malta and around the world.
MPDA is a registered charity (VO/0061). It is monitored by the Commissioner for Voluntary Organisations.
​
Our Aims
Our main aims are to give advice and information regarding PD to persons with Parkinson’s as well as to their carers; to promote and raise awareness of the difficulties faced by persons with Parkinson’s along with their carers; to raise funds to support us in our aims and to contribute towards research into finding a cure for this disease.
How we support people with Parkinson's
MPDA holds monthly meetings providing information about Parkinson's delivered by experts in the area. The meetings also provide an opportunity for people living with the condition to meet and socialise. This enables everyone to share ideas and treatment ideas as well as provides a social environment for people to smile about. We also provide information by email by reaching out to our many contacts within the medical field. Home visits can be arranged for anyone who is unable to leave their home to come to our meetings and we are also happy to speak to people over the phone to provide the support they need.
