From the first phone call, I felt completely understood and supported. Speaking to other DMD parents who work for Action Duchenne has truly been a lifeline for me, and they have never wavered in their support and patience

Our impact
We are proud to bring you an update of the work we are doing here at Action Duchenne, and to explain the tangible progress we are making.
These past few months we have started delivering key parts of the ‘All-through Support’ project, including;
- support webinar double-bill on trauma and bereavement
- over 600 1-2-1 support calls and meetings with Duchenne families in the past 6 months
- carefully ‘match-making’ Duchenne families with others in a similar position
- hosting The Friday Hive, an open, drop-in peer-to-peer support group on Fridays 10-12 during term time
- planning the transition to adulthood project
- new team-mates have joined our ranks; Alex (Outreach Officer) and Dr Mehreen (Chief Scientific Officer)
- collaborating with partner organisations, both from within the Duchenne community and from other specialised areas.
Earlier this month, we were proud to solidify our status as an agile charity, by announcing an increase in our expenditure on charitable activities to 88.7p in every £1 we raise!
This is a great achievement for us, and one that sets us apart from other charities which may be struggling following the pandemic’s devastation to the third sector.
Donations we receive are vital to help Action Duchenne bring our life-changing work to more and more people across the UK.
Your support will enable Duchenne families to attend important support and education events like the Conference and Science Education Programme, take part in our transition to adulthood residential and access our world-class support services as soon as they are diagnosed. And help us to achieve our vision ‘a world where lives are no longer limited by Duchenne muscular dystrophy’
