Digital skills: Getting started

The MND Association is offering mndassociation.org email addresses to volunteers who commonly email within their role. Given the sensitive information and vital communications sent through your email accounts, we encourage you to take advantage of this opportunity. With an Association email address, you'll help us provide a more secure and reliable communication platform. As a result, not only do we protect your personal information, but also that of those we support. Having an Association email address also means that we can implement more robust cyber security measures, such as two-factor authentication. This helps protect your data from potential cyber threats.

 Your email address can be accessed through office.com or the Outlook app. You will also be able to use online applications such as Teams, Word, Excel, OneDrive, and more. Not only will your information be stored more securely, but it will also be easier and more secure to share your work.
