At The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland (MS Ireland), we've been working hard to provide support to those living with MS. The COVID-19 pandemic means we can't run our annual raffle. With annual fundraising income expected to be down 37%, over 1,000,000. In times of crisis, the most vulnerable in society are most affected. Not only are they more socially isolated, but they are also deprived of some much-needed services essential to coping with and managing complex conditions like MS.
Your support goes a long way to ensuring the continued care of a vulnerable segment of the population in challenging times. We've adapted to the situation and set about modifying our approach to offer support. We are currently providing online services that include a range of online programmes such as physiotherapy classes,yoga, webinars, mindfulness programmes, virtual face to face support,and an extension of the MS information line hours.
We may be in times of great change. And while aspects of society may never return to what they once were, at The MS Society of Ireland, we're still firmly committed to our mission of providing support, relief, and human companionship to those afflicted and their families. Circumstances may force us to reinvent our ways, but our intention remains solid; and with your support, we'll make it count.
