For over 60 years, we’ve been building our community of people living with muscle wasting or weakening conditions, their families and carers, scientists, health professionals, supporters, volunteers, and donors. Together, we’ve made advancements that would have been unthinkable ten years ago.  

There are over 60 muscle wasting and weakening conditions affecting people across the UK. We’re here to provide expert comment on them and share information about our vital work across all four nations – our research, care and support, policy and campaigns, fundraising, events and more.  

We can also put you in touch with people from our community – because nothing is more powerful than real-life stories and experiences.

Our spokespeople are available for interview or to provide comment on a range of subjects including our campaign work, research into muscle wasting and weakening conditions, emerging treatments and issues affecting people with muscular dystrophy.
