Support Organisations:
Motor Neurone Disease Association (MNDA)
The Motor Neuron Disease Association of New Zealand (MNDA), is a not for profit organisation with the purpose of supporting people with Motor Neurone Disease and their carers in dealing with this demanding disease.
The BayofPlenty Branchof the Motor Neurone Disease Association is part of the National body, as described below, and is run by volunteers also, all of whom have lost loved ones to MND. The help we provide is largely through information, practical advice and emotional support direct into peoples’ homes and by phone, email and support groups. To achieve all of this, The MND Association has just 7 part-time fieldworkers across the country who work to ensure that those with Motor Neurone Disease do not fall between the gap of the range of service providers on whom their survival and comfort depends.
Some of our activities include:
- co-ordinate and provide up-to-date information
- provide emotional, social and practical support
- advocate for the needs of people living with MND
- develop awareness and understanding of MND
- encourage research
