In 1978 a group of families, concerned about the lack of assistance for their children, formed the Muscular Dystrophy Support Group. Without clinical or public recognition of the disorders the group began the challenging process of raising awareness, fundraising for equipment and services and supporting research that might one day find a cure.

Today we build on the dedicated efforts of these early volunteers, working in line with our mission, towards a future where neuromuscular conditions no longer limit choice and control and people with muscular dystrophy and similar neuromuscular conditions are able to make the most of opportunities and fulfil their potential to live the lives they choose.
