We have over 11,000 members forming a powerful network providing information and support for people with MND, their families and carers. We fund and promote research that leads to new understanding and treatments, and brings us closer to a cure. We campaign and raise awareness so the needs of people with MND are recognised and addressed by wider society. We have over 10,000 active volunteers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and 220 employees, all dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by MND, now and in the future. We improve care and support for people with MND, their families and carers. People with MND, their families and carers are at the heart of everything we do.
