Summary
Last year was a landmark year for the Movers & Shakers team, as our Parky Charter project reached 100,000 petition signatories and generated a parliamentary debate. So how will we be following it up in 2026? To debate the possible campaigns we could embark on this year, the gang are joined by Mark 'Crippo' Cripps, our marketing guru, to try and come up with an impactful, yet achievable, proposition. As ever, you can send your thoughts and suggestions to us on social media or via email here.
Movers & Shakers is brought to you by Cure Parkinson's.
Presented by Rory Cellan-Jones, Gillian Lacey-Solymar, Mark Mardell, Paul Mayhew-Archer, Sir Nicholas Mostyn and Jeremy Paxman.
Produced and edited by Nick Hilton for Podot.
Sound mixing by Ewan Cameron.
Music by Alex Stobbs.

| 0:35.1 | Hello and welcome to another episode of Movers and Shakers, the award-winning podcast on Living with Parkinson's. |
| 0:41.8 | My name is Gillian, Lacey Solomon. |
| 0:45.0 | Now, today's topic is all about selecting a campaign for 2026, and I have a nasty feeling. |
| 0:51.9 | It may be a little bit of a poison chalice, because how on earth do we |
| 0:56.1 | match last year? Let's see who's here, first of all. Nicholas Mostyn, Rory Kettlin Jones. |
| 1:01.3 | Paul Mayhewarcher. Mark Mildale. And it's not just us in the pub. We're joined by a fantastic guest, |
| 1:06.7 | who is a pseudo-mover and shaker himself. He helped us enormously with the campaign last year, but very much behind the scene. |

| 1:25.7 | He's not only Parki himself, but was the chief marketing officer of the |
