Motor Neurone Disease

The Merseyside Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association has the sole aim of serving all those people in the area affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND). This includes people with MND, their carers, family and friends.

MND is an incurable condition that paralyses the muscles leaving people unable to do everyday things the rest of us take for granted. Walking talking and swallowing become virtually impossible, yet the mind and senses remain intact.

We also liaise with health and social care professionals such as speech therapists, occupational therapists and the medical profession.

Our Branch holds regular Branch and support meetings for people living with MND, their carers and families.

Fundraising and raising awareness are also very important aspects of Branch activities, and we are organising several events throughout the year.

Merseyside Branch is completely run by volunteers. We are always interested in hearing from people who can help with the events or who would like to help us.
