What we do...
MSRRF provide FREE services to people with MS and their primary carer, in and around the North East of England, via our main centre in Morpeth, our physiotherapy centre in North Seaton and various outreach facilities.
We also award grants across the UK for financial assistance towards aids and adaptations. All our funding comes from donations, fundraising and legacies, which is why it is so important that people decide to support us, and why we are so grateful when people do.
Donations & Fundraising
Whether you're considering a sponsored event, a workplace fundraiser, or an individual challenge, your contribution plays a vital role in transforming lives.
At MSRRF we believe we are stronger together, and we value the power of partnerships.
We can help provide you with all of the tools that you need to make sure you are successful in your fundraising activities. We can also follow up by sharing to our network and socials.
We also have a stock of donation buckets and collection boxes which we can supply.

Volunteering
Many businesses involve volunteering schemes where employees can offer their services for a couple of days per year. Volunteering with MSRFF is not only personally rewarding but also aligns with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) objectives. As a rapidly growing charity, MSRRF seeks not only funding but also strategic support from experts in various fields.
This support can encompass tools, processes, equipment, strategies, programs, and more. Additionally, your staff can volunteer individually, contributing to our mission in meaningful ways. Perhaps they’d like to help us with our garden, or at our fundraising events?
Corporate Oppurtunities
Our business community is invaluable and we are grateful to all the businesses that help us raise thousands of pounds every year or provide volunteers for events or to complete tasks at Benmar House, so we can continue to provide support to people with MS. We are proud of the relationships we have with our partners, whether they are small local businesses or large multinationals and we are always looking for new and exciting ways to work together with our community. We can help provide you with all of the tools that you need to make sure you are successful in your fundraising activities.
Staff Fundraising
Nominate MSRRF as your charity and motivate and inspire your employees, customers and suppliers to raise as much money as they can for the Charity and have fun in the process.
Whether it’s through fundraising, volunteering or taking part in events. Maybe you are having a bake sale soon, or perhaps you have keen walkers, runners or cyclists who are taking on a challenge soon? We’d love to work with you and your team to help raise funds.
Corporate Partnership
Could we be your ‘ Charity of the Year’ which allows your company to focus its efforts on supporting a single charity for an entire year or perhaps a shorter time frame with us as your ‘Charity of the month’. You could sponsor an event and help us raise vital funds towards our annual running costs and boost your profile at the same time. You can sponsor any one of our annual events from golf days to themed fun runs!
Commercial Partnerships
Support MSRRF by taking one of your hero products to the next level and consider selling it under the banner "in aid of MSRRF," where every sale not only benefits your customers but also generates a meaningful donation to our cause. This innovative approach not only elevates your product to a new level of purpose but also aligns your brand with a fantastic charity mission, showcasing your commitment to making a positive impact on the lives of those affected by multiple sclerosis.
Corporate Involvement
We are extremely grateful to The Bazaar Group who have continued to support our annual golf day fundraising event and also provide a monthly monetary donation and we thank Printed.com for the printing of promotional and fundraising materials at either no cost or a reduced rate to MSRRF.
Did you know
MSRRF receives no statutory or NHS funding, and relies entirely upon donations and fundraising by supporters. It costs around £800,000 per year to maintain our existing service provisions.
