The Lilian Prime MS Centre support people affected by Multiple Sclerosis (and other similar neurological conditions), their carers and their families. We provide high quality support to our clients through carefully structured classes, therapies and social activities that help with fitness, mental health and well-being.
In October 2023 Peter Milner stood down as a trustee and chair of LPMSC, the position of chair being taken Phil Milton who was nominated, seconded and approved by the other trustees.
LPMSC bid for funding and was successful in receiving grants of £8550 from Sport England and £6100 from The National Lottery these were used to subsidise our chair based exercise classes and fund our ‘Breathe and Connect’ programme. We also received unrestricted funding from the Lilian Prime Trust and many other generous donations.
In September 2023 We employed 2 joint Centre Co-ordinators which enable us to increase the centres opening days from 3 to 5, our opening hours being 10am till 4pm, this was a move that was welcomed by all and enable us to offer more services which included more exercise classes and welcoming 2 more therapists to deliver massage and beauty therapies.
