Upcoming events

Jaspal's Voice - 28th February 2020

The South Herts Branch of the Motor Neurone Disease Association are delighted to be supporting this event being organised by Jaspal’s Voice, a non profit making organisation set up to help people living with MND. Please read below how and why it was set up.

"Jaspal’s Voice is named after my sister, Jaspal, who battled with motor neurone disease for over 10 years and sadly passed away in 2012. She was a mother of three young children when she was diagnosed. It’s been over 4 years since I started Jaspal’s Voice and I had one objective and that was to help make a difference to sufferers of Motor Neurone Disease.

Through our journey with Jaspal, we discovered the NHS provide some technology to help sufferers but this only helps some of the 5000 who have the disease at any one time in the UK. During her illness, Jaspal communicated with us in ways that astounded doctors with their ingenuity and simplicity. I want to share her techniques, provide tools and research new technology to give others a 'voice'.

On Friday 28th February 2020 in conjunction with the support of MND Association, we are holding a Bollywood style Dinner & Dance Gala. All proceeds from this event will go towards research to help find a cure for MND and communication technology development.

Please join us for a charity dinner which includes a complimentary glass of bubbly, 3 course Indian cuisine, soft drinks, raffle and auction, followed by a night of music by Paragon, dancing and entertainment with top London based Bollywood Choreographer Jay Kumar.

Special appearance by British DJs, producers and radio broadcasters for BBC Asian Network and formerly BBC 1Xtra – Panjabi Hit Squad."
