We are looking for Volunteers to help us deliver a wide range of Branch/Group activities and events.

Together we can beat MND.

You don’t need personal experience of MND but a can do attitude and willingness to get involved with other volunteers will make you a real asset to our team!
If you choose to give your time to the MND Association you will receive a full induction into your role and any travel expenses will be reimbursed.
About us:
MND is a fatal, rapidly progressive disease that affects the brain and spinal cord. It attacks the nerves that control movement so muscles refuse to work. It can leave people locked in a failing body, unable to move, talk and eventually breath. It kills a third of people within a year and more than half within two years of diagnosis, and it has no cure.
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.
