What is MND?
MND stands for motor neurone disease. Motor neurones are the nerves that control our body movement.
With MND, something goes wrong with the motor neurones, and the messages from the brain stop getting through. This means the muscles that enable us to move around, speak, breathe and swallow fail to work normally.

As the nerve cells slowly stop working, muscles gradually weaken and waste. No two people experience the exact same speed and pattern of weakness, and therefore each person living with MND should be cared for in a way that best suits their needs.

Have you recently been told that you or someone you know has MND?
Being diagnosed and living with MND can be difficult. It is natural to feel worried, stressed, and upset at times, but having MND doesn't mean you can’t live a fulfilling life. There are many ways that you can continue living as safely, and independently and remain connected with your community.
We have a range of care and support services available at no cost to you.
