Our MND Association is a small not for profit organisation whose main purpose is to help support people with motor neurone disease and their carers. We have fieldworkers around the country who provide information, advocacy and emotional support and help people have access to the right health services at the right time.

This website aims to provide useful material about the things that people affected by MND are likely to want to know, like information on MND, the latest research on MND, and where to go for help and support.
