Bristol and Bath Group
Alex Millard
The Bristol and Bath Group aim to support local people affected by motor neurone disease.
Each month there are support meetings where people with MND, their carers, friends and family can get together. The meetings are informal and are good place to share advice and experience.
We also help by providing financial assistance for equipment, care and quality of life interventions for people with MND and their families.
You can join any of the below meetings by contacting Alex Millard on 07957 440291 or email millardalex@hotmail.com

Our group is run entirely by volunteers, we are only a small team and would love to welcome new members. We have various opportunities including:

This is a challenging but rewarding role and you don't need personal experience of MND, just the desire to make a difference.
