West London and Middlesex Branch

Welcome to the West London and Middlesex Branch

The West London & Middlesex Branch of the MND Association covers the London W, UB and TW 1 – 14 postcodes. The Branch is run entirely by volunteers and has been active in supporting people with MND for more than 25 years. Our support supplements that provided by the MND Association.

We provide practical help, information and local support to people with MND and those close to them, whenever they need it and in a number of ways. 

You can find out about upcoming meetings and other branch activities as well as fundraising, information about care and support and our national campaigns by clicking into the relevant pages below.

If you are interested in volunteering with us to help make a difference to people living with MND, their families and carers, you can find out how to get involved.

Our branch patron is author, journalist and news presenter Jeremy Vine, who is also a patron of the MND Association. He supports many national events.

Key Activities 

WLQP Pride Walk on 7 June

We are delighted to be teaming up with West London Queer Project for a fundraising walk to both celebrate Pride Month and help raise awareness and funds to fight Motor Neurone Disease.  

The Walk will be held on 7 June and will set off from Lyric Square in Hammersmith for a scenic 10k walk along the River Thames, which will take about 2 hours. Walkers meet from 9am and set off at 10am. The route will be clearly marked, maps will be available and marshals will be on duty along the entire walk. After the walk you'll be treated to an afternoon of delicious food, camp entertainment, and a whole lot of fun at the Black Lion Pub in Hammersmith.

Tickets and Donations

Tickets for the walk are £25, or £30 with an MND T-shirt.  This includes entry to the walk and after party, a Progressive Pride Flag, a WLQP commemorative medal, a £5 food voucher for the Black Lion Pub and a pint of larger or soft drink.

Support Groups

We hold Support Groups for people living with MND and their carers. The carers groups are held both during the day and in the evening. There are also specific groups for those recently diagnosed, those with PMA-PLS, and groups covering other specialist topics. These are all monthly meetings to share thoughts, have a friendly chat and seek support. Click the link to see the full list of the different support group meetings available.
