Black Country Group

Welcome to the Black Country Group 

The Black Country Group of the Motor Neurone Disease Association supports those living with MND, their families and carers across the Black Country boroughs of Walsall, Sandwell, Dudley and Wolverhampton. 

We are a volunteer led group who provide a warm welcome and friendship to offer information, advice and support. We also campaign for improved local services for people with MND and fundraise for essential money to provide local support and to fund research into finding treatments and a cure for MND.

After receiving an ALS diagnosis in October 2021, I became a member of the Black Country Group Planning Committee. I am actively engaged in our meetings, gaining insight into expenditure and resource allocation while proposing fundraising and awareness initiatives. We warmly welcome new participants to join us and contribute their perspectives to our endeavours. Come and be part of shaping our collective efforts - Ama Johal 

 

 

The MND Association’s monthly support meetings are held every month at the Mary Stevens Hospice near Stourbridge from 2.00pm to 4.00pm

 We warmly welcome all people living with MND, their carers and families to join us. They are very informal and enable you to meet others living with MND in a relaxed and friendly setting and to share experiences over a cup of tea or coffee.

 Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been living with MND for some time, and whether you decide to pop along for 10 minutes or stay and chat for the whole two hours, you will be very welcome

 If you would like to come along, or just want some further information, then don’t hesitate to contact:
