ABOUT MARK PRITCHARD

THE BACKSTORYAfter 30 years in the IT sector—including a rewarding decade at Denodo—I’ve traded data virtualization for a mission that hits much closer to home. What began as a time out, has grown into a new found personal energy for the pursuit of change, creativity, and community impact.THE MISSION: BALLS TO PARKINSON’SChannelling a new perspective and evaluation of priorities, backed by three decades of professional experience and a fresh wave of energy into Balls to Parkinson’s. Having already helped raise nearly for Parkinson’s UK and The Oddballs Foundation, I am excited to continue B2Ps evolution and to positively impact the Parkinson\'s community:Oxfordshire’s Premier Walking Football Programme for Parkinson\'s: Developing an Oxfordshire wide programme enabling people with Parkinson\'s to experience the beautiful game, promoting physical, social and mental wellness.Reinvigorating Local Groups: Bringing new energy and proactive thinking to local Parkinson’s organisations to help reinvigorate support networks and the people they serve.THE VISIONI believe the Parkinson’s community deserves more than just \"maintenance\"—it deserves vitality, innovation, and determined positivity. Whether on the pitch, collaborating with local organisations, my goal is to turn awareness into action and challenges into opportunities.CONTACT MEIf you’re involved in the Parkinson’s community, interested in our Parkinson’s walking football programme, or simply want to talk about driving meaningful local change, I’d love to hear from you.
