Fundraising
Raising funds is vital to ensure we can keep supporting people locally that are living with and affected by MND.
There are many ways you can get involved – run your own event, organise a walk to d’feet, Silence Speaks, Bake it, take part in a third party event such as a parachute jump or run, encourage your workplace to volunteer for us, donate regularly through Give As You Earn, the list goes on.
People do the most amazing things to raise funds, anything you can do to help will be making a difference – every penny counts.
Please do let us know if you are planning to fundraise, we can help publicise your event on our social media pages and of course will support you all we can:
Volunteering
Our branch is run entirely by volunteers and one thing we all have in common is our desire to make a difference to people both living with and affected by MND in our local area. Our youngest member is 19 years and oldest is 81!
Have you some time to spare? Anything from a few minutes to a few hours a week, we would love to hear from you. We always welcome new volunteers, whatever your skills and interests there is a role for you.
No connection to MND – do not worry not all our team have. Some people volunteer with us as a way to give back but many have no experience of MND and come on-board to meet new people, gain new skills and be part of a friendly and dynamic team. So whatever your reason for volunteering we want to hear from you.

- Branch Secretary: Do you have good organisational and communication skills, then help us to run the Branch effectively.
- Support Group Co-ordinator: To organise our monthly support group meetings and help with facilitation on the day
