Motor Neurone Disease Association of WA

National Volunteer Week, celebrated this year on 20–26 May, highlights the important contribution volunteers make to the not-for-profit sector.

Global Motor Neurone Disease Awareness Day is marked on 21 June, the day of the solstice, a turning point in the calendar and the start of a new season of hope.

The power of fundraising events reaches far beyond the immediate fundraising and awareness raised.

Anyone can find themselves in a situation that puts them at risk of homelessness if they don’t have the support to prevent disadvantage or the tools to get them out of a tough spot.

The Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre went ‘Under the Sea’ for the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association of WA’s fifth annual ball, Unite Against MND, on Saturday 27 July.

Volunteering makes a meaningful impact and positively impacts the lives of others facing significant challenges in Western Australia.

Held in the first week of September, Include a Charity Week is a reminder of the impact you can make for a cause close to your heart through leaving a gift in your Will.

Western Australian charities are calling for more support from the government and corporate sectors so they can continue making a positive impact on the lives of people in need in the community.

The Motor Neurone Disease Association of WA provides significant care, support and resources for carers looking after people with motor neurone disease.

This year brought on unprecedented financial pressure for families experiencing disadvantage or caring for a child with chronic illness or disability. There are many ways, big and small, you can help families in need this Christmas.
