We ensure that everyone affected by MSA has access to tailored information and support to guide them, and are not alone in their journey.

Can you help?

You will be a fundraiser with a great track record of raising funds through Trusts and Corporates.
We are a small charity, so someone who is prepared to roll up their sleeves and get involved would be just the right candidate.
