Motor Neurone Disease Association

What is MND?

MND is the short term for motor neurone disease, which affects the nerves known as motor neurones. These nerves are found in the brain and spinal cord and they help tell your muscles what to do.

If you have MND, this means your movement will be affected and you are likely to get a wide range of symptoms. Select from the following for basic facts about the disease.

Plymouth and District Support Group: 

The Plymouth Group of the Motor Neurone Disease Association was launched in February 2019. We support people in and around the Plymouth area who have been affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND). Whether that be people who suffer with the condition themselves, or carers, family members and friends.

The group is entirely run by volunteers and we are always on the look out for new members. 

Aims of the Plymouth Group:

1. Improve care and support for people with MND, their families and carers in and around the Plymouth area.
2. Support the MND Association in promoting and funding research that leads to new understanding and treatments and brings us closer to a cure for MND.
3. Campaign and raise awareness in and around the Plymouth area so the needs of people with MND and everyone who cares for them are recognised and addressed by wider society
