THE town branch of Parkinson’s UK is looking for a new chairperson to lead its team of volunteers.

The branch aims to enhance the lives of those with Parkinson’s who live in East Grinstead and Crawley, and fund national research.

In addition to leadership skills, they hope to find someone with a sense of humour who will appreciate the buzz that comes with making a positive contribution to the lives and well-being of local people diagnosed with the debilitating illness, and their families.

The voluntary position will involve hosting monthly branch meetings in Crawley Down, attending occasional committee meetings and supporting other members of the team in their fundraising efforts locally and nationally.

The present chairman steps down at the end of the year, but it would be good to have a two to three month period of handover before he goes.
