Carlisle Branch

What is a “branch”? The clue is in the name. We do a variety of things in different places, but we are still all one Branch. A Branch spreads out, but it joins together too. That is its strength.

Good for a Branch:

light – information, knowledge, advice.

air – fresh ideas, openness, confidence.

warmth – a welcome, reassurance, sharing.

roots – people affected by Parkinson’s, the local community, health and care services, Parkinson’s UK .

Not good for a branch:

Our Committee

“The day-to-day management of local groups” is done by lead volunteers. As Carlisle’s local group is a Branch, it has a Committee. “All management committee members must be elected by their branch members at its AGM or an EGM…” (For more details, see the “Local Group Rules”)
