There are a number of ways Branches and Groups can get involved in Making a Difference at a local level.

A good first step is simply to ensure that all those in a position to make a difference to people affected by MND in your area are aware of the Association and your local Branch or Group.  Good local contacts are the first essential ingredient in being able to influence so you will need to start by raising your profile.

There are a number of easy steps you can take to raise the profile of your Branch/Group locally.   The Branch Influencing Pack - Level 1 (132 kb) looks at who you can write to to raise your profile. 

There are also a number of appendices to the booklet 

• Level 1 - case study contacts (19 kb)
• Level 1 - Sample introduction letter to HSCPs (21 kb)
• A sample Branch Welcome Leaflet (433 kb)  and Order Form (341 kb)
• Flyer on Professional pack (resource file) (91 kb)
• Level 1 - Useful staff contact details (22 kb)
