Welcome . . .

The Notts Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association has the sole aim of serving all those in the area who are affected by Motor Neurone Disease (MND, also known as ALS). This includes people living 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 Open Meetings at the Mapperley Plains Social Club, Nottingham for people living with MND and their carers and other Branch members. These provide an opportunity to meet with other people living with the disease, and to share experiences and ideas.

For information about the work of the Association, and up to date information regarding the disease, care and research, please visit the National Office website at www.mndassociation.org. You are also welcome to visit the web sites of our neighbouring branches Leicestershire and Rutland, Derbyshire and Lincolnshire.
