Changes in care over the last 30 years

30 birthday badgeSo much has happened over the last 30 years to improve the care for people living with MND. Of course there is still much to do but with the support of the MND Association, our Care Centres, our Branch and Group network and our hundreds of committed volunteers, people living with MND can continue to live with dignity.

Through individual stories and accounts read how the care of people with MND has changed over the years and how the work of the MND Association continues to make a difference to people affected by the disease.
