We are here for everyone diagnosed with muscular dystrophy and are a vital source of support for our community. We quickly update our support services in line with changing Government advice to ensure our community is informed about how Covid announcements may affect their often challenging lives.

Situation
Calls for support remain higher than pre-covid levels. Every day counts when you have a progressive muscle-wasting condition. We’re here for anyone affected, from diagnosis onwards. Covid advice continues to change on a weekly basis – there is a lot to unpick for all - this is exacerbated for those living with a disability. We act as a conduit between Public Health announcements and our community ensuring that information is quickly updated in a way that takes their condition into consideration.
Solution
Over the past 18 months those living with muscular dystrophy have been subjected to a heightened sense of isolation. We will continue to expand our information, advocacy and support services by offering a new range of online information and peer support events to bring our community back together as the country 'unlock. Our helpline is vital. We'll also offer 15 online seminars to provide the latest advice on specific conditions as well as a number of living well topics for independent living.
