The Muscular Dystrophy Campaign is the only UK charity focussing on all muscular dystrophies and allied disorders.

We have pioneered the search for treatments and cures for over 45 years. We also provide practical, medical and emotional support for people affected by the conditions.

What we do - care and support

As a charity, we provide people who have neuromuscular conditions, and their families, with information and advice about their condition and ways in which living with it can be made easier. We fund (with some contribution from the NHS) 13 MDC Care Advisors who are based in clinics around the country. They are on hand to give advice and support to people who are affected by neuromuscular conditions.

The Joseph Patrick Trust, which is part of the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, provides part funding towards the cost of equipment.
