The MS Therapy Centre latest fundraiser – the Mad Hatters’ Tea Party which had the support of local MSP Jim Hume – has raised nearly £4,500.
The Centre, which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year, called on locals to host a tea party and wear a crazy hat last month to help raise much needed funds and make a difference to all those in the Lothians living with multiple sclerosis.
Nancy Campbell, Operations Manager at the Centre, said:-“Hitting nearly £4,500 is a fantastic sum of money and will make such a difference to those attending the Centre. Nearly 2,500 people in the Lothians live with the debilitating condition and our Centre provides a life line for many. We are there for practical and emotional support and only exist because of the generosity of others.”
“I would like to thank local residents, businesses, community groups and schools who took time out of their busy days to bake and host tea parties.
Jim Hume, Liberal Democrat South Scotland MSP, said:-“I was delighted to have visited Nancy and her team at the MS Therapy Centre Lothian again and to celebrate their 30th anniversary at the mad hatter tea party. The Centre provides a range of therapeutic and peer support to people living with multiple sclerosis, all the while improving the quality of life for its users.”
The Centre is hoping the tea parties become an annual event and will be looking for tea party hosts again in 2015.
The MS Therapy Centre is a charity providing help and practical therapies such as physiotherapy, complementary therapies and oxygen therapy as well as emotional support and advice.
