My brother, James, attends the MS Therapy Centre in Wolverhampton, having been diagnosed with MS in 2018. The Centre was set up by The Rotary Club of Wolverhampton in 1986 to help people with Multiple Sclerosis.
The charity has been providing therapies and support to members and their families/carers in the local area and throughout the West Midlands, Shropshire and Staffordshire for 33 years in September this year. The Centre has a small staff team and a number of volunteers who give their time each week. Members self-refer to the Centre with Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological conditions, along with members who have cancer, strokes, sports injuries and
more.
The Centre offers oxygen under pressure in a chamber and more recently members who cannot go in to the chamber for whatever reason can sit outside of the chamber breathing oxygen through a
mask. It also offers physiotherapy, reflexology and other holistic therapies such as massage, reiki and psychotherapy.
The Centre's objective is to offer its services to members who use its facilities but also to try and help more families out in the community who may need its support.
To enable it to do this the Centre needs to raise over £150,000 per annum. Its members pay a contribution towards the cost of their therapy and the Centre is very grateful to receive donations from organisations and individuals who continue to amaze us with their generosity again and again.
I am grateful to the staff of the Morris Centre Pool on the QE Hospital site who are enabling the swim to be recorded there.
