Our annual Adur Walk took place on Sunday 11th September 2011 and was a great success.

The weather was really was great compared to all the wind and storms we have had in the past week.

So We were very lucky.

Lots of our fantastic supporters came out to join us and had a wonderful day with a long walk followed by lots of great cake!

Thanks to all our walkers, we hope you can come join us again next year!

Ben Ashby came to the Centre on Tuesday the 16th of August, to present us with the Money he raised by doing a Sponsored walk for the centre.

Ben raised over five hundread pounds by doing a sponsored walk along the Southdowns with the company he works for.

So we just wanted to say..  Well Done Ben!

Hi guys,

Just to remind you all we are going to be having a Summer Tea Party and Open day on Sunday the 21^st of August from 2pm until 5pm.

It’s a great opportunity to welcome new people through our doors, and invite friends and family to come and celebrate the MS Centre with us!

Please come along, and if you would like to bring a cake or sandwiches to add to the tea party, that would be excellent!

Please let Jo or Alan know if you can make it.

Also don’t forget it’s our Sponsored walk on Sunday the 11^th of September,  please ask your family and friends to come and take part in this special day.

Even if you cannot make the walk, we still need people to come along and volunteer on the day, as we need helpers to steward and at the celebration lunch afterwards.

Please make sure you let Alan or Jo know if you are going to come and take part!!

Look forward to seeing you all soon.

Thanks

Jo and the rest of the team x

We are super busy at the MS Centre this summer, with a calendar full of great social events booked right through until September.

Our regular coffee mornings on Tuesdays and Fridays are now nearly full to bursting, with lots of new faces and lots of the regulars too.

Recently our Pilates classes have been so busy we’ve barely been able to fit everyone in, and Hyper Baric Oxygen Sessions are getting busy and busier every day.

But to provide all these great services we need your help and support, it costs us over £100,000 per year to run the MS Centre and we pay for that by fundraising, grants and donations.

Our next major fundraising event will be the Walk for MS on the 11th of September. This is a great family day out and we take walkers on a 9 mile fundraising walk, followed by a celebration picnic lunch for everyone who takes part!

Every year this popular event helps us raise thousands of pounds for the Sussex MS Treatment centre. The walk is suitable for people of all ages and we encourage you to invite your friends and family to come and take part and support the MS Centre.

Click here to email us and register for the walk or alternatively just give us a call on 01273 594 484.
