What we do
We lead the fight against muscle disease.
Our work has four main focuses:
- we provide free practical and emotional support
- we fund world-class research to find effective treatments and cures
- we campaign to raise awareness and bring about change
- we award grants towards the cost of specialist equipment, such as powered wheelchairs
In 2008 we invested £1,743,000 into research and £1,735,000 into providing care and information.
We rely almost entirely on voluntary donations and legacies to fund our work. Dedicated children and adults, companies, trusts and foundations help us to raise money to fund our vital work.
