Act to Adapt campaign First Action Week raises awareness

Our first Act to Adapt Action Week took place in April raising awareness of the importance of home adaptations for people with MND.

As MND progresses, home adaptations become both vital and urgent so people can live in a safe and accessible home, without experiencing long delays and high costs.

To highlight this issue, we shared the experiences of Alex Herd, KT Wong and Sam Hayden-Harler who are all living with MND and have all had home adaptations, on our social media channels. This prompted many of our supporters to share their own experiences of home adaptations.

Our Act to Adapt campaign calls on councils in England to use their discretionary powers to ensure they are meeting the needs of people living with MND in relation to accessible housing.

We would like to thank our branches and groups for helping to fund the Act to Adapt campaign through the 2022 Chief Executive’s appeal.
