Be part of something amazing — help change how Ireland sees Parkinson’s!


At EOPD.ie, we believe in the power of people. Volunteers are at the heart of everything we do — from spreading awareness and busting myths, to cheering at fundraisers and helping plan events.

Whether you’ve got an hour a week, a few days a month, or just want to help out during Parkinson’s Awareness Month (April 2026) — there’s a place for you on our team.
