Support Meetings
The Oxfordshire Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association holds a number of regular meetings.
The Family and Friends Support Group meets approximately every 2 months and provides an opportunity for people affected by MND, their carers and families to meet others in a similar situation. Refreshments are provided and the Group may be able to fund transport costs to help people to get to the meetings.
The Association Visitors Group also meets approximately every 3 months to keep up to date with events and to discuss how best to serve the community. The Regional Care Development Adviser usually attends these meetings.
Please see the calendar below for the latest schedule of local meetings and events.
