Committee Members Details
Branch Chairman – Kevin Young
Hello, I’m Kevin Young. I worked in many different industries across the world, in London and Cirencester just before I retired in Dec 2019. I gave up badminton due to injuries but I’m still club Treasurer, I play lots of golf and walking football with Cirencester Phoenix FC and I’m a committee member of Cirencester Chamber of Commerce.
I want to guide the Committee to help every branch member by utilising all my years of business / industry experience improving various businesses and solving their problems to raise funds, grow the membership, increase participation and provide helpful, worthwhile activities to help people live better with Parkinson’s. I can be contacted at [email protected]

Branch Secretary - Karen Young
Hi I’m Karen Young. I was a Quality professional working on Infrastructure projects in London until I retired in Oct 2020.
I enjoy swimming and I’m Chair of a badminton club in Swindon. We have 4 grandchildren, Max our dog and several friends who all keep me occupied, love to shop for shoes!
I wanted to give something back to the local community so joined this branch Oct 2021 to help with communication and organisation. I can be contacted on 07586 532 635 or [email protected]
Committee Volunteer - Angie Fenton
I’m Angie Fenton, my lovely Dad had Parkinson’s for 20 years before he died in 2018. I joined as a volunteer to try and make sure that everyone knows what help and support is available. We didn’t know about this group when Dad was alive, and I don’t want anyone else to miss out on what it has to offer. Email me if you need any of our RESOURCE information leaflets and booklets – [email protected].
Vice Chair- Kath Clements
My name is Kath and I’ve recently semi-retired from secondary education where I worked mainly with students with special educational needs and their families for over 26 years.
I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in March 2022 and have been discovering more about the disease, its spectrum of symptoms and unique effects on the individual ever since.
I’ve always been actively involved in my community and joined the Parkinson’s committee as this has now become a focus within my life.
I can be contacted on [email protected]
