Henley MS Support Group Launches in January 2010!

The Henley MS Support Group is an exciting new partnership project between the Berkshire MS Therapy Centre & The Henley & Districts Branch of the MS Society.

The new service will be launched in January 2010 on Thursdays, and will be based at the Thames Valley Headway unit, Brunner Hall, Greys Road, Henley-on-Thames.

Initially a MS specialist Neuro-Physiotherapy, FES Clinic and Counselling service will be offered. We hope to extend the service to include other therapies such Chiropody and Massage. There will also be a social area available for people with MS, their friends and family in which to socialise and exchange ideas and information. For further information

The Big Care Debate - Have Your Say!

The Government is working to create a new National Care Service for England that is fair, simple and affordable. How should it be structured and paid for?

Although it has been announced that DLA will not be affected for the under 65's, the case for over 65's is undecided. If you are interested in campaigning for over 65's please visit the Age Concern website http://www.ageconcern.org.uk/AgeConcern/quality-care-big-q.asp

Tell the government what you think of the options for reform in the Big Care Debate which ends on the 13th November.
