What the charity does

We are offering support online across the globe through our website and social media. Across the South West of England we offer practical support in the way of information packs sent/ handed out specific to where the member lives, as well as meet ups in towns & cities across the area plus home visits. We hold training days for medics to try to improve their knowledge and understanding of FND.
