The Motor Neurone Disease Association is the only national charity in England, Wales and Northern Ireland that funds and promotes global research into the disease and provides support for people affected by MND.\r\n\r\nWe are a membership organisation with nearly 8,000 members forming a powerful national and local network that provides information and support alongside campaigning for improved services.\r\n \r\nWe have over 3,000 volunteers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland and over 150 paid staff, all dedicated to improving the lives of people affected by MND, now and in the future.\r\n\r\nOur mission is to fund and promote research to bring about an end to MND. Until then we will do all that we can to enable everyone with MND to receive the best care, achieve the highest quality of life possible, and die with dignity. We will also do all that we can to support the families and carers of people with MND.
