Wessex MS Therapy Centre ‘incredibly grateful’ for support from Morrisons Foundation

The funding from the charitable arm of the supermarket has covered the costs of an innovative ‘Vela Exercise Chair’, a specialist piece of equipment that offers safe, supported movement for people with limited mobility.

Amanda Strong, Grants and Fundraising Coordinator, Wessex MS Therapy Centre said: “We’re incredibly grateful to the Morrisons Foundation for supporting our work.”

“This generous grant will make a real difference to the lives of people with MS and other neurological conditions in our community.”

Located in the heart of Warminster, the Wessex MS Therapy Centre offers vital support for people with MS and neurological conditions from communities all across Wiltshire, providing therapies and a welcoming, accessible space that promotes independence and well-being.

David Scott, Morrisons Foundation Trustee said: “Supporting charities at the heart of our community is what the Foundation is all about and I’m delighted that we’ve been able to provide this grant to Wessex MS Therapy Centre.”

“The exercise chair will make a huge difference to people affected by MS and other related mobility issues for many years to come.”

The Morrisons Foundation was set up by Morrisons supermarket in 2015 and awards grants for charity projects which help improve people’s lives. Since launching, over £45 million has been donated to hundreds of charities across England, Scotland and Wales.
