The Herts-based MS Trust has received £40,000 from The Freemasons’ Grand Charity to fund the development of specialist information for people who are newly diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
The MS Trust, with headquarters in Letchworth Garden City, provides health information for patients and professional development for nurses. This is the fourth time The Freemasons’ Grand Charity has funded the Trust since 2001, bringing the total donated to £220,000.
Speaking about the donation, Richard Knifton, the Hertfordshire Freemasons charity steward said: “Anyone who has been recently diagnosed with MS may feel uncertain and worried, and one of the best ways to help them is by providing them with trusted information to allay their fears. Hertfordshire Freemasons are therefore very happy to be supporting the MS Trust once again with this valuable initiative.”
