We are one of a number of organisations across the UK, together operating a grants programme of over £200 million. The aim of the MS Society Millennium Awards Scheme is to offer awards to individuals to do things locally that are of both personal and community benefit. The uncertainty of MS lead many to give up certain activities or roles and their lives become focused around what the can no longer do - on lost abilities. It can also place limitations on carers and close family members. We hope to enable individuals to focus once again on what they still do, or on what they might be able to do with a little help from us. Grants of between £2000 and £5000 are available to fund projects of up to 1 year in duration. What type of project can we fund? That’s up to the individual. You might have a skill that you would like to develop further with the aim of teaching others. You may want to set up a contact group for people who are isolated. Maybe you want to start a project that bring together people who are looking for work but who could benefit from mutual support and advice. What ever you decide, your project will need to fall under one of the following 5 themes: Reaching Out Skill Sharing Young People and MS Environment/Community development Raising the profile of MS For more details of the scheme and to request an application pack, which contains more detail please contact us: Millennium Awards Grants Team MS Society MS Nation Centre 372 Edgware Road Staples Corner London NW2 6ND 020 8438 0700 Email [email protected] [18th April 2002] to top Able and Disabled?
