About the MND Association

The MND Association is the only charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland promoting research into causes, treatments and a cure for this devastating disease. It also works to secure care and support for people who have MND now.

We rely almost entirely on voluntary donations.

The Association offers a wide range of services to people affected by MND, including:  

• A National Telephone Helpline (08457 626262), which is open from 9am – 5pm and 7pm – 10.30pm Monday to Friday. Calls are charged at local rates
• Fourteen Care Centres country-wide that provide co-ordinated care under one roof for people with MND
• A national advice and information service
• A free equipment loan service, including lightwriters to aid communication
• Limited financial support
• A network of Regional Care Advisers (RCAs) who offer support, advice and information for people living with MND
• Training and support for Health and Social Care Professionals
• A befriending service to people with MND through the provision of around 300 trained Association Visitors
• A network of more than 80 UK Branches run by volunteers, raising money and providing support at a local level
