We are urgently assessing where help is most needed and adapting our services quickly to ensure we can continue to be there for all those affected by MND.

We have committed to contacting every household that we know is affected by MND. These conversations will help us to understand the needs and challenges they are facing, so that we can provide a timely response and help wherever we can.

But, at a time when we need to do more, we are facing a devastating drop in income as a result of the crisis, with the loss of up to a third of our annual income as a result.

We hope that you will understand why we need your help at this time. We are determined to continue to be there for people with MND, who need us now more than ever. Please, if you are able to, will you help us with an extra donation today?

Your support for this urgent appeal would mean so much. A gift of £27 could pay for an advisor on our MND Connect helpline for one hour. Helping to provide this vital service to people with MND when they need it most.
