Story
I am a rehabilitation therapist that works within the neuro physio department at The Brightwell MS Therapy Centre, Bradley Stoke. I work with a range of neurological conditions such as MS and Cerebral Palsy. I would love to raise money for our physio department to purchase new and improved equipment and facilities to improve our rehab for our service users.
There are an estimated 4.7 million people in the UK living with a neurological condition, in our region alone, in 2018, it was thought that just over 10,000 people were living with a long term chronic neurological condition. A diagnosis of a neurological condition is often a traumatic moment, and The Brightwell offers a safe space to terms with the news and work out a way to move forward. The therapies we offer are designed to address the many different symptoms of a neurological condition and our aim is to help people live a full, meaningful and independent life. Our core treatment of oxygen therapy is not available outside of MS Therapy Centre, apart from a handful of very expensive private clinics. For most of our members the idea of funding private treatment, not available on the NHS, is completely out of reach.
