Who We Are

Neuro Central is a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) which was registered as a charity on 16 June 2016. We are governed by our constitution which defines our purpose as: 

  • To advance the health and wellbeing of people in Scotland who live with neurological conditions through access to high quality services and therapies, information and support for them, their carers and their families, in a friendly relaxed environment, so nobody has to feel alone.

There are many neurological conditions and these include: 

Myalgic Encephalomyelitis (ME)
Cerebral Palsy
Stroke
Guillain Barre Syndrome
Muscular Dystrophy
Myasthenia Gravis
Spina bifida
Spinal injuries and Spinal tumours

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)
Transverse Myelitis (TM)
Fibromyalgia
Parkinson’s disease
Epilepsy
Alzheimer’s Disease
Motor neurone disease (MND)
Acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM)
Devic’s Disease;

. . . to name just a few! 

You can find more information on neurological conditions from a Neurological Alliance report Neuro Numbers 2019, written in March of that year. This report (which is for England) includes a list of neurological conditions with their prevalence and incidence.  

Neuro Central is open to any neurological condition. We aim to provide relief through a complete wellbeing programme offering:

  • Complementary Therapies (Massage, Reflexology, Reiki)

  • Relaxation

  • Exercise Physiotherapy

  • Podiatry

  • Hypnotherapy

  • Counselling

  • And Peer Support 

In providing this, Neuro Central aims to be: 

Friendly - making people feel welcome and included, with genuine consideration for others in a cheerful, respectful and responsive way 

Open - to everyone (members, volunteers and funders) where every opinion matters, confidentiality is respected, and there is a commitment to promoting equality and embracing diversity in all our actions. 

Compassionate - connecting with all those with a neurological condition and providing a safe space where people can go to get help, advice, support and therapies 

Understanding - listening with care and showing empathy with actions of support 

Supportive - fostering an atmosphere of friendship, respect and care for each other, and responsive to the expressed needs of our members 

And in all of this, we encourage diversity and welcome everyone regardless of ability, race, gender, age (although those under 16 must be accompanied by an adult), religion, identity, and sexual orientation.
