Chilterns Ms Centre

Thanks to the team at Shoulder of Mutton for raising over £700 from their recent Garden Party. That will provide 20 hours of much-needed physiotherapy for our members. Thank you to everyone who came and supported the event.

Escape the rain today and support a local charity at the same time. Get down to No 2 Pound Street today from 10am - 12pm and they will donate ££s for every hot drink sold!

We love how different every day is at the Centre. Today Mix 96's Ben Moseby interviewed our Walk the MS Mile ambassadors to find out why they cherish the Centre so much and want to help us to promote our event. Coming soon to our favourite local radio station!

Walk the MS Mile takes place on Saturday 22 September in Market Square Aylesbury. Register by Weds 19 Sept to walk, wheel or scoot to help those locally with multiple sclerosis and you could #win a bottle of bubbly! Sign up today and start fundraising! http://bit.ly/MSMile #charity #community #walkforgood #onemile #MultipleSclerosis #chilternsmscentre #charitytuesday

It may be raining but that doesn't stop our gardening group! We love how Steph has coordinated her shoes to the flowers today too :) Why not join in every other Monday from 11am - 12.30pm.

He's only gone and done it! Huge congratulations to Luke Sherring-Lucas and his family for conquering 5 peaks in 5 days! He smashed his target of £1500 too! Well done to Luke, Russ and Andy and thank you for your support. We hope you've had a well deserved rest over the weekend!

Come and enjoy the weather this weekend at the Shoulder of Mutton Garden Party. We are hosting the raffle and funds raised will go towards helping local people with #multiplesclerosis. See you there!

In this prolonged heat it is important that you stay hydrated to avoid infections, headaches, dizziness and constipation.
Ways to stay hydrated include: • drinking water and other fluids such as weak squash and fruit tea throughout the day and at mealtimes (making sure they are within easy reach) • eating fruits and vegetables with a high water content, such as oranges and cucumber... •having ice lollies (especially fruit-based)
If you are not producing any Urine in 24 hours seek medical advice straight away as this could be a symptom of an infection which could be life-threatening for those with a weakened immune system.
Check out this handy chart to see if you, or the person you care for, are sufficiently hydrated.

Fatigue and tiredness can be made worse by the heat if you have #MS. Remember to keep hydrated, stay out of the sun and rest as much as possible. Legs and feet can swell in the heat so put them up at the end of the day. Our centre is air conditioned so why not pop in to cool down and have some lunch or a drink at the same time? #toptips #staycool #sunshine #multiplesclerosis

A huge THANK YOU goes out to Lawrence Donnelly and his friends, who conquered the 3 peaks to raise a #staggering £6732 for the Chilterns MS Centre. Thank you so much to you all. You have enabled our members to have over 1500 hours of treatment with that fantastic amount! #challenge #fundraising #getinvolved #friendship #multiplesclerosis

Words cannot express the Care, Friendship, Professionalism & Love that emanates from the Centre.

Where would I be without this place? This is a place of healing, a place where therapists and volunteers give their very best every single day. This is a place where you are welcome every single time you come, a place you can feel you belong. This is a place where you can not only receive treatments from Oxygen to Physiotherapy but also meet with friends, eat great food and socialise! This is the place of a thousand Musketeers; one for all and all for one!

This is the highlight of my week, receiving help from staff and volunteers, making good friends with everything in common and being able to laugh and relax.

This centre is amazing. I have physio weekly and the improvement to my body and my mindset has been truly incredible. Such wonderful and dedicated staff I wish I could come more often.

This a is a great place and is so helpful to so many people with MS. The staff and volunteers are great and so caring.

The Centre is an amazing place; state of the art facilities full of inspirational people from patients, carers, volunteers & our wonderful professional staff, it's a shining example of team effort. Thank you all, I couldn't manage without you.

Such a valuable resource for MSers in the Chilterns!

So good to see so many people benefitting from this ! Great staff and wonderful volunteers

Oxygen Therapy is amazing. Sets me up for the week oh and my drive buddies are pretty cool too, you know who you are!

I have been attending the centre for many years now and the new centre is able to offer so much more now. The staff are just as supportive and caring as they have always been. They are very knowledgeable and really helpful. I can thoroughly recommend coming as it has been a great support for me over the years. :-)

Friendship, care and amazing therapies together with amazing people I wouldn't ever want to be without it - Julie Dean (user since 1999)

First week here was a bit worried trying something new but was made to feel so at home and looking forward to continuing my treatment

Centre is my lifeline, consider myself lucky to have the support, friendship and care, with the amazing therapists that have ambitions beyond my body's capabilities! together with all the amazing people that use the Centre and I see on a regular basis :-)

At the risk of repeating myself as I have probably typed this before 🙃 Everybody is wonderful here, the staff and the volunteers. So ostentatious and understanding. It took me a while to adjust to nice friendly people after almost twenty years of working in the Magistrates Courts!

An excellent care centre for those with MS!
