Friends of MND

A space to share, contribute and connect.

Friends of MND is a volunteer-led group made up of people impacted by MND. The group meets regularly in different ways to feel connected to the community and support MNDAWA. They are passionate about the vision and mission of the association and with lived experience as carers, friends or family members, they understand the challenges people living with MND and their family face. 
Friends of MND connect through the following two forums:

Coffee Catch Ups

Our 𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗠𝗡𝗗 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵-𝗨𝗽𝘀 offer a welcoming space for anyone affected by MND to come together over a coffee, share experiences, and find support from people who truly understand.

Whether you have lost a loved one to MND, currently live with MND or care for a loved one with MND, we invite you to come along to a relaxed gathering to connect with others who truly understand.

If you are interested in hosting a coffee catch up in your area, please reach out to a member of our Service Delivery team by sending an email to admin@mndawa.asn.au

Monthly Volunteer Sessions at MNDAWA

Friends of MND monthly volunteer sessions are a casual get together facilitated by Maureen (MNDAWA Board Member), Jan and Gaewyn. 

Maureen has experience as a carer for her husband who lived with MND. 
The group meets monthly to contribute to MNDAWA in a variety of ways including event preparation, getting creative and making items which can be sold to raise money, packing envelopes and sorting merchandise. 

If you are interested in joining the monthly volunteer sessions, having a chat and taking part in various projects to support the association, please reach out to a member of our Service Delivery team by sending an email to admin@mndawa.asn.au

Sessions are held on the third Wednesday of each month.
