A new event to support people living with Parkinson's is launching in Scarborough tonight.

The event called "Parky in the Pub" is being backed by Parkinson's UK.

Malcolm says the support offered by the local groups in invaluable.

The initiative is a six week trail described as an "informal, friendly group where you can just drop in for a chat, a laugh and maybe learn something new."
