02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
MND Scotland was founded in 1981 to support people affected by motor neuron disease (MND) as well fund research into treatments and, hopefully, a cure. We are here to make time count for people with MND, because they don't have time. We support people by helping maximise their income, by helping make sure their statutory provisions are being met, by providing access to free counselling, and free wills and power of attorney, and by providing grants to individuals. We also campaign on their behalf to try and improve the systems they have to navigate. In addition, we fund research into understanding MND, and evaluating potential new treatments through a clinical trial platform - we want the future to be a world without MND.
