Living with FND? You are in the right place.

Matthew founded FND CONNECT CIC after watching people he loves face Functional Neurological Disorder with almost nowhere practical to turn. The result is a free, plain-English hub for people with FND and their families — and a registered Community Interest Company raising funds for mobility aids and therapies the NHS often cannot provide.

Whether you need clear information after diagnosis, a private tracking tool for appointments, a community that understands, or a way to support the work — start here.

Matthew Gerdes-Hansen — freelance web designer and web developer based in Hull

A Hull web designer with commercial depth — and a founder who builds for real people.

Matthew Gerdes-Hansen is a freelance web designer and web developer based in Kingswood, Hull. With 25 years of ecommerce, marketing, finance and operations experience — including heading up the finance and operations of a multi-million pound corporation — the work is never just about how the website looks.
