Do you have MND and need help to get online or with digital devices?
MND Association and AbilityNet charities are working together to help people with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) learn how to get online and use digital devices with greater confidence and independence.
We're also supporting those already online to boost their confidence performing digital tasks. This helps to provide better support, every day, to people affected by MND.
AbilityNet's friendly volunteers can help you:
- with everyday digital tasks like online shopping, video calls, setting up devices, printing and social media
- find technology and accessibility tools that make devices easier to use
- build confidence using online services, apps and resources while living with MND
- use voice banking tools to help preserve your voice for the future*
How to get support via the partnership
Support is available by phone, online or at home, depending on your needs.
You can also contact AbilityNet directly to request free, individual one-to-one tech support from an AbilityNet volunteer:
Ask AbilityNet for tech support
If you'd like to chat through the support options with MND, please email: mndconnect@mndassociation.org or call MND Connect: 0808 802 6262
You may also wish to request an AbilityNet representative attend your MND group session to give a demonstration about tech you may find helpful.
*Voice banking referrals must be made through the MND Association.
