    RAF Cosford Air Show

     

     

    Come and join in the fun at the world-famous RAF Cosford Air Show. We have been given a pitch so look out for the gazebo with our logo and Motor Neurone Disease Association on it.

    Our volunteers will be manning the stall all day so come along and find out more about how we are fighting this illness throughout our region by raising awareness and funds to support our work among those living with MND across the Black Country.

    Tickets for the Air Show can be purchased at https://cosfordairshow.co.uk/tickets/

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.

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 at these meetings. 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.

We are still seeking a suitable location for the Walsall/Wolverhampton area so we can hold similar meetings on the northern side of the region. We will update this site once we have confirmed details.

 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:
