Edinburgh Art Fair are delighted to announce our partnership with
MY NAME'5 DODDIE FOUNDATION
for this year's 20th Anniversary fair.
​
We will be donating all proceeds from ticket sales for entry to the fair on Friday, September 19th, to the foundation. Additionally, artist Charles Nasmyth will be auctioning a painting for the charity at the end of the weekend. This painting has been commissioned for the fair to celebrate his 20-year connection to the event. It will serve as a significant reflection of his work, which has evolved over the last two decades and has expanded into books and a documentary film about his artistic journey. The foundation will have a merchandise and information stand within the fair and we hope that you drop by during the weekend of the fair.
Who We Are
How we can help
How we will do this
The Foundation is committed to helping improve the lives of those affected by motor neuron disease. We help to fund grants, giving considerable sums to our friends at MND Association and MND Scotland to administer to individuals and families living with MND.
We work in partnership with existing frontline care providers to ensure the holistic needs of patients and their families are understood and met. We do this through supporting our friends at MND Scotland and MND Association who conduct the due diligence and manage these grants on our behalf. To find out more about the grants and to apply, head to either MND Scotland or MND Association’s grant pages.
We initiate and encourage research to better understand the information and support needs of MND patients and their families.
We engage with patients through the provision of information about latest developments and the opportunity to shape research priorities clinical trials and rapidly translating results into clinical practice.​
Awareness​
​
It is our aim to be a strong, evidence-based, and trusted voice for MND patients, their families, and the wider community through education, awareness-raising, campaigning, and advocacy activities.
