World MS Day Celebrations in the South!

The Southern Region held several successful events to celebrate World MS Day.  Without the generosity of local sponsors, and help of local people and branches such events would not be possible. From the sponsorship of venues, tea’s/ coffee’s & pastries, raffle prizes, to free live music, excellent staff and of course everyone with MS, their families and friends who themselves endeavor to support the society and mark World MS Day events.  

Here’s a taste of what was on offer in the South!
