FAMILIES from across Yorkshire who have been affected by muscular dystrophy and related conditions are being invited to a meeting in York of the Yorkshire and Humber Muscle Group, organised by the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign.

The support and information group for people with muscle wasting conditions says such meetings are an opportunity for people to come to meet others facing similar challenges, as well as a chance to discuss the types of support that help them to live with and manage their condition.

The meeting, which takes place at Energise in Cornlands Road from 1pm to 3pm on Friday May 2, will focus on changes to disability benefits and support, specifically Personal Independence Payments and Personal Health Budgets.
