Welcome to our new information page on MND Scotland support groups. This is a relatively new service bringing together patients, family members and previous carers in a social setting to exchange information and provide support to one another.
There are 9 groups set up in Aberdeen, Ayrshire, Glasgow, Forth Valley, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire, Edinburgh & Lothian, and Fife & Tayside.
Other than Renfrewshire, the groups meet on a bi-monthly basis for light refreshments. Renfrewshire meet on a monthly basis for tea and biscuits. Anyone affected by the condition is welcome to attend any of the sessions which are free.
