Our impact on the FND community
We exist so people living with Functional Neurological Disorder — and the people who love them — can find clear information, practical tools, human connection, and funded help when the system falls short.

Help delivered.
Need still growing.
People with FND often face urgent costs while formal systems catch up. These figures show both the help delivered and the gap still in front of us.
This combines support funded directly by FND Connect and support we helped people access elsewhere.
Every donation helps us say yes more often.
Support built around real life.
We help people understand FND, find each other, and access practical help when symptoms change everyday life.

About these figures
High-level totals only — funds raised for the cause, audience reach, people we support, and the volume of grant requests that shows how much practical help is needed. They are not a full statutory account; detailed ledgers stay internal. Grant awards are discretionary and limited by available funds.
