Welcome To The Cambridgeshire Branch Webpage
The Cambridgeshire
Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association has been
in existence for a number of years and is dedicated to supporting people with
Motor Neurone Disease, their partners, carers and families in the County.
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 provide practical
support and help through our group of trained Association Visitors, regular
Get-Togethers in Peterborough and Warboys,
and the provision of specialist equipment to improve the quality of life for
all those affected by the disease.
Our Branch Get-Togethers are very
informal and friendly, providing an opportunity for everyone to exchange views
and share experiences. We also often invite a speaker, sometimes for
entertainment, sometimes to give important, relevant information. Everyone is
welcome.
Fundraising and raising
awareness are also very important aspects of Branch activities, and we organise several events throughout the year
which are well supported.
We have a bi-monthly Branch Newsletter which is sent to all our Branch Members.
If
you would like to make a difference in someone’s life then consider becoming an
Association Visitor (AV). The Cambridgeshire Branch has a
dedicated and friendly team AVs who visit people
living with MND and keep in touch by telephone and email. More information is
available in the Association
