Our Pop-Up Art Exhibition was a great success, raising nearly £8,000.
Take a look at our page of artists’ works – for a taster of just some of the work that was on show.
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.
Thank You
We couldn’t do any of our good work without the help of so many people who help us financially and practically.

Our new treadmill in action. Purchased thanks to a grant from Aims2Cure, this treadmill also includes the facility for people who can bear weight, but have problems with balance, to be supported by a sling. Another tool for our neuro-physiotherapists to help people with MS maintain their mobility.
