Welcome to the Exeter and East Devon Branch 

We are a volunteer‑run community supporting people and families affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in our area. Everything we do is powered by neighbours helping neighbours, each bringing their own skills, experience and compassion.

What we do

  • Provide emotional support, a friendly face, and a listening ear.
  • Stay connected through home visits, regular meetings, and virtual catch‑ups.
  • Ensure people feel supported, informed, and never isolated.

Raising awareness

  • Talk to local groups, schools, and businesses about MND.
  • Help the community understand MND.

Fundraising

  • Organise events and support others raising vital funds to help provide services, support research and strengthen our work locally.

Campaigning

  • Back local and national campaigns for better services, faster support, and a stronger voice for everyone affected by MND.

Our group is built on kindness, teamwork, and the belief that communities can make a real difference. Whether you’re looking for support, information, or ways to get involved, you’re always welcome.
