Charlotte’s just 30. Diagnosed with MND two years ago, she’s struggling to adjust to her new reality.

Like most people with MND, she needs major changes to her home. Things like a ramp, and a wet room.

There is funding available from local councils to adapt homes – called the Disabled Facilities Grant (DFG).

But the DFG process takes far too long. It takes an average of around one year to get vital adaptations funded.

By that time, one third of people with MND will have died.
