Directors Lunches
The Centre ran two Directors Lunches during 2012 in April and November. Both lunches were supported by Thomas Cole Internet Solutions. The lunches provide a great way for businesses to network and act as a thank you from the Centre for all the support that is offered to us by the business community. Both events provided an opportunity for people to hear more about the work of the Centre and its plans for the future. Out next Directors Lunch will be held in April 2013 where the speaker will be the Very Reverend Professor Gordon McPhate, Dean at Chester Cathedral and Lecturer in Medical Ethics at Chester University.
The Centre signed an agreement with the local branch of Parkinsons UK, to work in collaboration, here is Neil Kemsley, Chair of the Trustees of the MSSC and Ann Edwards, Chair of the Chester Branch of Parkinsons UK signing the agreement.
Fundraising Success
The MSSC has strong support from its business friends and passionate individual supporters. As always we are extremely appreciative to everyone who has helped raise all important funds for the Centre whether you have organised a social event, taken part in one of our collection days or been sponsored to do something challenging - we are very grateful for your support and hope that you had fun taking part! This year we were delighted to be nominated as a charity to support by two organisations community initiatives and as a result we won the token collections run through ASDA Saltney and John Lewis in Chester.
Forgotten Phones
We are now able to recycle mobile phones and turn them into funds for the Centre. If you would like one of our collection boxes for old mobiles, please let us know. There is no cost to an organisation, as all postage is paid.
A Muddy Challenge
The 2012 MS Six Mile Challenge took place on Saturday 30th June at Capel Curig and involved eight teams navigating around a six mile course with their MS passenger. The teams who entered were unwavering even though they faced a mud bath! Setting off from the base camp participants battled through chest high mud, icy water and up and down rocky forest paths beating off the midges. The gritty fundraisers have raised over 8,000 to date.
