This will be devastating to the people who need support.”Since 2021 MND Scotland has run significant deficits, according to official accounts filed with charity regulator OSCR. In total, MND Scotland spent £3,583,740 more since 2021 than it had brought in. Over the past decade or so, MND Scotland has risen to become one of the country's best known charities, and it was associated with 2014's ice bucket challenge fundraising craze.
