Celebrating the volunteers who make our community stronger

This Volunteers’ Week, we’re celebrating the incredible people who give their time, energy and lived experience to support the muscle wasting community. Across our charity, volunteers help people feel less alone. They offer support after diagnosis, create welcoming spaces to connect, raise vital funds, influence research and help shape the future of our work.
