Muscular Dystrophy Society of Ireland CLG

Muscular Dystrophy Society of Ireland Company Limited By Guarantee (Muscular Dystrophy Ireland) is a national charity dedicated to supporting people living with neuromuscular conditions and their families. Using a member-centred approach, the organisation provides a wide range of practical services - from equipment loans and transport assistance to counselling, bereavement support and peer-to-peer connections for adults and youth. It also runs specialised programmes such as the Youth Service, Family Support Services and the "Home From Home" accommodation scheme, while advocating for entitlements, influencing policy and championing research into neuromuscular disorders.

Guided by values of respect, transparency, equality, inclusiveness and personal empowerment, Muscular Dystrophy Ireland works to create an Ireland where individuals with neuromuscular conditions can fully participate in society. Its information hub, the InfoMap, and a dedicated support line help members locate services and obtain up-to-date guidance. The charity's impact is amplified through community events, national conferences and initiatives such as Ollie's Walk and the Irish Powerchair Football Team, fostering connection and hope across the island.
