MND Scotland Coffee Afternoons – Dundee

This informal afternoon gathering provides an opportunity for people affected by MND to come together, connect with others, and share conversation over a cup of tea in a welcoming and supportive environment. Whether you are looking to meet others, share experiences, or simply spend time in good company, you’ll find a place to do so here. 

Attendees will meet members of the MND Scotland Support Team, who will be available to share more about the support and the services we provide. We also hope to have MND specialist nurses join us on the day, to answer questions and offer guidance. 

At the event, we will be joined by representatives from our partners, Caesar and Howie. Through MND Scotland and Caesar and Howie, people affected by MND can set up wills and powers of attorney for free. The representatives will give a presentation on the support available through them for the MND community and will be there to answer any questions.
