David Newbold is listed by Parkinson’s UK as Director of Community. Own published biography: "It is an utter privilege to work for Parkinson's UK, an organisation that has provided so much support to my dad, and indeed to my entire family, after he was diagnosed with early onset Parkinson’s. Having early access to advice, information and support made a huge difference to my family. I am committed to ensuring that more people know, that whatever your journey is with Parkinson's, you are not alone and a whole community of support is here for you. "Before joining Parkinson's UK, I led services at a large sight loss charity focussed on growing support for people at point of diagnosis and peer to peer support. "Outside of work, I volunteer with a local children's group, support disabled job seekers, and love nothing more than time with my family and friends and the occasional trip to the gym!"
