We aim to ensure that those with MND and their families are at the

independent citizens throughout their illness.
IMNDA is going through a time of change - a recent move to a new
flexible office space, embracing new flexible working arrangements as
well as introducing new technology to support our fundraising
initiatives has taken place. The Association now experiences greater
collaboration with statutory agencies in ensuring a seamless service
to those affected by MND throughout the pandemic and beyond.
These changes, together with a new five year Strategic plan driven by
a committed and enthusiastic team working to support those living with
MND places the Association in a strong position to meet the challenges
of the future.
