A great year for Dorothy Larmour as Lady Captain of Sandiway as the ladies section raised over £3000 from books sales, raffles etc for her chosen charity, "The Neuromuscular Centre",. They are a Cheshire-based charity supporting people affected by neuromuscular conditions across the UK. Please take time to view the website and see if you can get involved. http://www.nmcentre.com/
The NMC provides a range of unique services and specialist advice with the sole aim of improving the quality of life for adults with Muscular Dystrophy and other neuromuscular conditions.The charity was founded in 1990. There's no other centre like the NeuroMuscular Centre (NMC) in the UK or Europe!
"We are all about enabling people to have options to have more fulfilling and productive lives."
At the heart of the NMC is a vibrant and commercially successful Social Enterprise. NeuroMuscular Centre (NMC) Design+Print employs 15 people, 12 of whom have Muscular Dystrophy. The team aim to generate a surplus to re-invest in the work of NeuroMuscular Centre (NMC) helping others with the condition.
The NeuroMuscular Centre (NMC) physiotherapy service provides ongoing treatment for adults and young people with Muscular Dystrophy where the NHS does not. Physio is crucial in maintaining muscle strength and tone for longer and helping in pain management. Physio is the key to maintaining better quality of life for our 360 registered patients.
The Centre is largely run by people with Muscular Dystrophy, so it is very well tuned into to what people with neuromuscular conditions want.
