How you can help
Parkinson’s Victoria works in partnership with
the wider community in order to achieve our mission. We
rely on the generosity of people in the community who partner
with us to raise much needed income for services. Other
people give their time and skills as volunteers.
Our recurrent government funding only represents 23% of
our total income. We are reliant on donations, bequests
and other forms of income in order to raise approximately
67% of the funds needed to offset the shortfall in service
provision.
Support us
with a Donation
Every donation makes
a difference. Unlike many charities, we choose not to telemarket,
nor do we use expensive mail houses. We rely on the generosity
of volunteers to work with us to produce and distribute
two letter appeals each year, in December and in June. In
this way, we are able to keep the costs of fundraising to
an absolute minimum, maximizing the donated amount to go
towards services.
Leave a Gift
in Your Will
Remembering Parkinson’s Victoria in your will creates
a powerful legacy that will positively impact upon many
people beyond your lifetime. Some members of the community
let us know they intend to make a bequest. Others choose
to support our valuable work by making anonymous bequests.

In Memoriam
Donations in Lieu of Flowers
Many people choose to make an in-memoriam donation, or to
donate money, rather than send flowers to funerals and memorial
services. Contact our office for more information We can
send out free in memoriam envelopes on request.
Volunteer
Many people volunteer
their time and skills to reduce the impact of Parkinson’s.
