Wiltshire Webmaster (Volunteer)

The MND Association was founded in 1979. Our mission is to improve care and support for people with MND, their families and carers. We also fund and promote research that leads to new understanding and treatments and brings us closer to a cure for MND. The Association also campaigns and raises awareness so the needs of people with MND, and everyone who cares for them, are recognised, and addressed by wider society.

“I gain satisfaction from knowing that I am doing something practical and positive to raise awareness of what MND is and the impact it can have on people's lives. In turn, this helps to encourage support for the Association which provides such an important service for local people.” Sarah, Volunteer
