LEARN-Glasgow

MND Scotland is bringing our Lived Experience and Researcher events back to Glasgow in 2025!  

Last year, we invited people affected by MND and MND researchers to come together to share their experiences, knowledge, and research.  This year we will again have presentations from three local MND researchers with time for discussions in-between, and, of course, coffee, tea and biscuits. 

MND Scotland has been working with Celtic FC and together, we welcome our MND community to Celtic Park for LEARN this year! MND has been a cause close to the hearts of Celtic FC and fans since the diagnosis of Lisbon Lion, Jimmy Johnstone. The club kindly hosted MND Scotland at last year’s Kevin Sinfield challenge and we look forward to continuing this strong partnership by welcoming the MND community together for the first of our 2025 LEARN events.  

LEARN events are free to attend. We would greatly appreciate it if you could register your interest in attending via the registration form below (so we can make sure we order enough refreshments for everyone!). Full information about the event and venue can be found below. 

We look forward to seeing you there.
