Donations and fundraising

The Leicestershire MS Centre is a self-funded charity with no local or government funding.

To keep the charity running and to help as many people as we can, we rely greatly on donations. Your donations go a long way and can massively improve the daily lives of those living with MS or similar conditions.

“For the past couple of months I have been a full-time volunteer at MS therapy center while also job hunting and preparing for MSc osteopathy course. I absolutely love working here because this place not only improved my therapy knowledge and experience but also important life skills such as communication, punctuality, commitments leadership. The best part is the group physio sessions 3 times a week which I help run. 2 out of 3 sessions focuses on upper body strength and endurance and one focuses on lower body strength and endurance.
It is a pleasure working with the patients at the center. It has definitely challenged my knowledge and expereince in the matter. I take this forward onto my upcoming journey of the future where I will continue gaining expereince here, complete my MSc osteopathy pre-registration course and work alongside.
Thank you so much to everyone at the center staff, volunteers and patients for treating me with respect and for your cooperation.”

“Just wanted to let you know that I’ve got a place at Warwick University to study Medicine, starting in September! The independence and positive feedback you gave me throughout my placement definitely encouraged me to apply (also gave me lots to talk about at interview!).
Thanks for everything”
