FND Dimensions is a registered charity, we are based in Derby but work across the country and in Scotland,. We are led by and for people diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND). FND Dimensions became a ‘Charity Incorporated Organisation’ (CIO) in December 2016, following over two years of operations as voluntary organisation.
We were the first FND charity to concentrate largely on bringing those diagnosed with FND together for mutual support. Previously ‘face to face’ meetings had been very ad hoc. It’s founding members, both who suffered with FND and related conditions, realised there was a gap in support for people, as they were often diagnosed but left with little or no medical follow up, leaving them with a sense of confusion and bewilderment. Slowly we started to establish small groups in a few towns, where patients could come together, without the fear of prejudice because of their symptoms and share experiences and advice on how to live with FND on a day-to-day basis.
Our Aims
Our aims are really very simple, to create a safe environment where those diagnosed with FND can come together, for mutual support without the fear of being judged because of their symptoms. To give people the opportunity to share their experiences and knowledge and ask questions of each other, either in ‘face to face’ meet ups or online. We also want to support their family and carers through groups of their own, to help come to terms with and share their experiences of supporting someone with FND.
Our ethos is to carry out the above in a spirit of, ‘Mutual Support and Mutual Respect’ where the isolation of FND can be broken and all individuals are valued equally.
