Welcome to the Gloucestershire Branch
The branch is run entirely by volunteers who aim to provide the best possible support to those affected by MND in our county. We provide support by:
- Helping local people who have MND, their families and carers via personal support, online support, support groups and more.
- Raising awareness of MND on a local and national level.
- Developing fundraising activities as a branch and assisting you with your fundraising efforts.
- Promoting news, events and other information that makes all our work possible.
We warmly welcome your input to these aims. Please contact us with your news, your activities or your ideas.
Don't let the Branch lose out
If you wish to make Funeral Donations to the Gloucestershire Branch of the MND Association, ensure you inform the Funeral Directors or your donation may go directly to the National Office of the MND Association.

The Motor Neurone Disease Association and the Wheelchair Alliance are both working to improve user’s wheelchair experience so please look at these two posters and consider whether you want to contact either organisation. If is important to raise wheelchair related issues with the Gloucestershire Wheelchair Service in the first instance. Your stories are important to allow both organisations to do their work. If you are unsure, speak to your AV or email [email protected].

Thumb Print magazine
The main MND Association produces a quarterly digital magazine called Thumb Print, you can read the the latest and previous issues by clicking the link below.
Fundraising and raising awareness are also an important part of branch activities. we organise a number of events throughout the year which are well supported.
Additionally we are very fortunate to be assisted by a number of individuals and organisations within the region. They raise money for use by the branch to help people living with MND or to help fund research into MND to learn more about the disease and help to find treatments. Every event held helps spread the word about MND and raise people's understanding of what it means to live with MND.
