Welcome to the Southampton & District Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association 

The Branch has been running since 1983 and has the sole aim of serving all those in the area who are living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND), their carers, family and friends.

The Branch covers Southampton and all areas with postcodes beginning with SO.  We hold regular support meetings for people living with MND and their carers, family and friends. These provide an opportunity to meet with other people living with the disease, and to share experiences and ideas.

The Branch also has a team of trained Association Visitors who offer a befriending role, providing support, information, and an ongoing link with the Association to people living with MND.

We can provide practical support in the form of liaison with health and social care professionals such as Speech and Language Therapists, Occupational Therapists, and the Medical Profession, and we can provide specialist equipment to improve the quality of life of all those affected by the disease.

Fundraising and raising awareness are also very important aspects of Branch activities, and we organise events throughout the year which are well supported.  

Further information about the Branch can be found on this website or by contacting Rosemary Rockett on 02380 891842 or by email at mrs_rockett@hotmail.com.  We are always interested in hearing from people who can help with events or who want to get involved with running the Branch.
