Looking back on MS Awareness Week

May 7, 2025 | Pippa Vincent-Cooke

We had a great week last week as we marked MS Awareness Week with various activities.

We were out and about with the MS nurses at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. We also had stalls at the Oracle and John Lewis in Reading, where we handed out information and also invited people to find out about MS symptoms.

Our volunteers collected at Reading Station and we had a free advert on the huge electronic screen outside the station all week.

We shared stories from our members about important conversations they’d had about their MS and our Centre featured in a fantastic article in WokinghamToday.

The aim of all of this is to raise awareness of MS, of the support we can offer here at the Centre and also of our need for fundraising support.

Thank you to everyone who was involved in any way, everyone who volunteered and everyone who shared their story. Also thank you to Maxx Media, the Oracle and John Lewis for their support.

Don’t forget, you can catch up with our social media posts from last week on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn, as well as here on Pip’s Blog.
