The Central and East Lancashire Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association
was formally launched on 22 March 2001 and has the sole aim
of serving all those in the area who are affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND). This
includes people with MND, their carers, family and friends.
MND is an incurable condition that paralyses the muscles
leaving people unable to do the everyday things the rest of us take for granted.
Walking, talking and swallowing may become virtually impossible, yet the mind and
senses are rarely affected.
We liaise with
health and social care professionals such as Speech Therapists, Occupational Therapists and the Medical Profession.

Our Branch holds regular support
meetings for people living with MND and their carers. These
provide an opportunity to meet with other people living with the
disease, and to share experiences and ideas.
Fundraising and raising
awareness are also very
important aspects of Branch activities, and we organise several events
throughout the year which are well supported.
Central and East Lancashire Branch is completely run by volunteers.
We are always interested in hearing from people who can help with events or who
want to get involved with running the Branch.
