Our vision
A world where everyone affected by a neurological condition is supported to live life to the fullest.
Our mission
To unite and empower people affected by neurological conditions and our member organisations to influence health and care policy in England, so it reflects real-life experiences, ensuring that everyone affected by a neurological condition can access the support they need.
We do this by:
- Providing a leading collective, national voice to improve health and care for people affected by neurological conditions.
- Developing a strong community that is connected to one another and strives for the collective good.
- Developing compelling evidence about what matters to people affected by neurological conditions and our member organisations.

Bold: We speak truth to power, driven by the real experiences of people living with and affected by neurological conditions and supported by our member organisations.
Together: We achieve more together — harnessing the strength, knowledge, and voices of everyone working towards our shared vision.
Leading: We champion the rights and needs of people affected by neurological conditions, shaping the debate and influencing the agenda on access to healthcare.
Insightful: We bring clarity and perspective — connecting patterns, voices, and data to generate fresh understanding and guide smarter decisions.

If you are a healthcare professional
As a healthcare professional, you will work with us to grow the neuroscience workforce and accurately reflect experiences of care. We provide the evidence you need to make the case for improvements to staffing and services nationally and in your area.
If you are a policymaker
As policymakers, we will work with you to make sure your policies support people affected by neurological conditions to live independently, and challenge you when policy falls short of achieving this. We will provide the high quality data you need to make strong evidence-based decisions.
