Highlights

Let us know what is happening.

We would love to add any MS events to this webpage. Do you or your branch have any special dates in your diary to raise funds or perhaps a social event? Please let me your regions website editor know and I can advertise your event on this or your branch page. Email Mary or telephone 01760 723884.

Used Postage Stamps Plea

MS Society member John Sanders works very hard to collect and trim used postage stamps. He then sells them to raise money for multiple sclerosis research. Last year £700 was raised!

Please would you collect your used stamps for John and send them to him? Please leave half an inch or 1-2 centimetres around the stamp.

His address is:
John Sanders
"Ashwood"
20, Braymeadow Lane
Little Melton
Norwich
NR9 3NQ

Please remember postage charges have changed and larger envelopes require higher stamp values to send.
