Families Supporting Families
You are not alone. Whether you are dealing with a new diagnosis of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), or are further along in the journey, the Duchenne Family Support Group is here for you. Our helpline: 0800 121 4518
The DFSG is a UK national charity, run by families for families affected by DMD. We have been bringing people together for mutual support, information sharing and social activities since 1987.
All of our board of trustees have experience of living with a family member with Duchenne.
The Autumn Edition of the Duchenne News is out soon! The newsletter is packed with articles, stories and information about Duchenne.
If you have a family member with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or you are a care professional with an interest in the condition, and you would like to receive our FREE newsletter regularly, please sign up here.
Membership of the Duchenne Family Support Group is free and without obligation.
