Cocooned at home, but not alone.
We want to give strength and support to all those living with MS who must remain sheltered at home by building an active, on-line network.

In addition to our classes Lynne Shepherdson is hosting a weekly Zoom space where members can chat together just like you would in the Centre’s cafe.

All classes are suitable for MS but can help everyone. Everyone is welcome.
Participants must do only what is comfortable and safe for them.
Depending on demand, classes may run for more than the initial four weeks.
To access, you will need to sign up by phone, computer, ipad or tablet to the free website, Zoom.
All classes and groups are still free but donations are very welcome.

Just a few words to reassure anyone who is worried about their benefits situation. The main message is that the DWP currently has a lot more to worry about than PIP, DLA, Universal Credit on grounds of sickness and AA, so all benefit awards have been extended and all reviews have been suspended. The slight fly in the ointment is that the DWP has been unable to stop sending out computer-generated letters. So, if you get one with a deadline, ignore it for the time being.
