Welcome to the Mid Kent Branch
The group is run entirely by volunteers and aims to provide the best possible support to local people with MND, their families, and carers. The Branch was established in October 1993 and we cover Maidstone, Medway, Sheppey , Sittingbourne and some areas of Gravesend (specifically all ME postcodes - except ME13 - as well as DA11, DA12 and DA13).
We also campaign to raise awareness, and to improve services for people living with MND. The Branch is able to offer practical and emotional support in a number of ways. We run Support Groups, organise outings and fundraising events, and provide Association Visitors to those who would like one.
