Everyone with MND should be able to live in a safe and accessible home, without long delays and high costs.


Timely home adaptations are vital to ensuring that people with MND can live safely, independently and with dignity in their own homes in the time they have left to live.

However, many people with MND are trapped in inaccessible homes because councils are failing to provide sufficient support. Some have died waiting for adaptations. This must change now.

What needs to change?


Our Act to Adapt campaign calls on councils to use their discretionary powers to ensure that they are meeting the needs of people living with MND in relation to accessible housing.

We recommend that councils learn from existing good practice and make improvements to the support they provide by:

  • Introducing a fast-track process for people with MND
  • Removing financial assessments for Disabled Facilities Grants 
  • Maintaining a register of accessible homes for people to move into
