About
us
The NMC
provides a range of unique services and specialist advice with the sole
aim of improving the quality of life for adults with neuromuscular conditions.
The charity was founded in 1990. There's nothing else like the 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.
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 NMC helping
others with the condition.
The NMC
physiotherapy service provides ongoing treatment 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 neuromuscular conditions, so it is very
well tuned into to what people with neuromuscular conditions want. The
Centre is fully accessible and has Care and Support staff to provide
essential help, enabling people to train or work as independently as
possible.
The Centre
has a fleet of accessible minibuses which provide transport for our
Students and Employees on a daily basis.
The Centre
has an infectiously warm, welcoming and positive culture. The emphasis
is on what you can do and not on what you can't do. Our popular training
courses support this ethos - working to provide opportunities and options
for people whose disability often means they see little positive future.
The NMC
mainly serves people in the North of England and North Wales.
NMC's expert team are increasingly advising professionals and people
with neuromuscular conditions across the UK, drawing on their vast accumulated
knowledge and expertise
