The MS Therapy Centre receives no statutory funding, just the money we raise ourselves through our fundraising activities.
To be able to provide all our therapies and facilities, we rely on kind donations.
Please consider donating today – there are so many ways for you to help us raise the £1,000+ a day that we need to run the Centre.
