Retford District MS Society Support Group’s monthly coffee, cake, and chat will take place on Friday 2nd May at The Well, Hospital Road, Retford DN22 7BD, from 10.30am until 12.00pm. Anyone who is affected by MS will be welcomed by the friendly group members and supporters.
In April, the group welcomed Madeleine Ault, a former MHRA medicines inspector, who delivered a very interesting presentation on keeping medicines safe and the dangers of counterfeit and falsified medicines.
The annual online review of group events highlighted the activities that took place in the past year. These included talks from members and local organisations, attending Charter and Heritage days, a fish and chip supper, and the annual fundraiser.
This year, amongst other activities, the group is planning an afternoon tea, an evening meal, a Christmas lunch, and the annual fundraiser at the end of October. They will also have stalls at Charter Day on Monday 5th May and Heritage Day in September.
Zoom meetings for physiotherapy / exercise / wellbeing sessions and chats continue on a weekly basis.
As a group, they promote exercise to benefit health and wellbeing and provide exercise equipment for the home where needed. The group is also participating in the Wednesday Wellness Project.
Retford District MS Society Support Group is part of the UK charity, the MS Society. The group is here to support you and your loved ones to live well with MS, and new members will be given a very warm welcome.
