What a Huge Difference MSPH’s Donation has Made!

Last year, MS People's Help gave us a significant donation to purchase items from our Brightwell Wishlist.

MSPH have a Charity Shop in Thornbury and they aim to help people with MS as much as possible, so they have a more accessible, brighter, nicer and safer place to live.

Roger and Shaun, founders of the Charity, both have MS  and started this amazing project 12 years ago. To find out more, please visit www.mspeopleshelp.co.uk

This donation has had a significant impact on The Brightwell.

Using this donation, back in February, all the lighting in the Oxygen Suite was changed to LED. This lighting upgrade was then moved on to the Physio, Gym and Treatment Room 1 in May.

Not only does this provide a brighter and more modern space, but it will save an incredible 86% in terms of energy usage compared to the old lighting!

Staying in the Oxygen Suite, new comfortable seating has been purchased for those having Isobaric Oxygen Therapy (on the outside of the tank). This is not only much more comfortable for the users but also looks great!

However, the biggest project has been a major upgrade of our computers, laptops, screens and other hardware accessories, plus the transition across the board to Windows 11.

The MSPH donation not only paid for all the physical equipment but also for Alchemy, our external It support company, to set up all the software and networking. This means that all our staff and Centre-based volunteers are now using the most up-to-date software on new equipment.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone at MSPH.

In return, on a small scale, we donate anything that we cannot sell in our Brightwell Shop to them, as they have a fantastic shop in Thornbury, with lots of space.

Thank you so much once again from everyone at The Brightwell.
