About MND Association
The MND Association's Chiltern Branch provides practical help, information and local support to people living with motor neurone disease (MND) and those close to them, whenever they need it and in a number of ways. Our team of trained volunteer Association Visitors provide practical support and information and signpost to local health or social care professionals, and provide an on-going link to the Association.
Financial support within guidelines set by the Association is provided to people living with MND and can be towards equipment and domestic adaptations as well as services and facilities that help to maintain quality of life in terms of independence, dignity and social connections. Support is also provided to carers and to children and young people affected by MND. The branch also support local fundraising and awareness raising activities and any national MND Association or local campaigns.
