Become a Community Champion in your local area

by MND Association

Do you want to engage with and help your local community?
Community Champions at the MND Association work with local communities to raise awareness of MND and help to reach people who are not aware of the association's services.
There will be a particular focus on engagement with Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) people, young people, LGBT people, and people with disabilities.
Our aim is to ensure that no one faces MND alone by ensuring that all barriers to participation are broken down.
There are a number of ways you can get involved, for example:
• Talking with local communities and attending local events
• Providing information on issues facing people affected by MND
• Increasing the awareness of MND amongst local communities
• Building partnerships with local groups who can assist in raising awareness and collaboration.
• Championing diversity within the local branch or group and helping to enhance inclusivity.
• Working with volunteers and staff to address any activities that make it hard for people to volunteer or use Association services.
