Our Community Moderators

On behalf of all the MuchLoved Team and the Trustees, we can’t thank you enough for your support and dedication to the community.

Stephen and the MNDA

It was Stephen May along with Tess Moore at the Motor Neurone Disease Association who were the first charity to open their doors to MuchLoved in agreeing to work closely together as a partnership to help the bereaved as part of their Tribute Fund scheme.
