Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association

The Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association was founded in 1979 by a group of volunteers with experience of living with or caring for someone with MND. Since then, we have grown considerably with an ever-increasing community of volunteers, supporters and staff, all sharing the same goal - to support people with MND and everyone who cares for them, now and in the future. We have over 10,000 members forming a powerful network that provides information and support for people with MND, their families and carers. We fund and promote research that leads to new understanding and treatments, and thus bringing us closer to a cure. We campaign and raise awareness so the needs of people with MND are recognised and addressed by wider society and decision makers. People with MND, their families and carers are at the heart of everything we do.
