RGU Physio Student visit
We were delighted to welcome Jennifer Clinch from RGU to our class recently. Jennifer got in touch since she wanted to find out more about what we do, especially in relation to physio led exercise. She stayed for both classes, chatted to all the participants and helped out in the second class. Jennifer's experiences of her visit were very positive. "I had the amazing opportunity to help out in the exercise class for individuals with MS today. It was very insightful to learn about how the social aspect of the class has supported them through an otherwise isolating and difficult experience. The participants all mentioned the physical benefits of the class and it was inspiring to see everyone’s perseverance to maintain their independence. The Physios were amazing at adapting each exercise to suit the needs of the individual so everyone is able to engage and participate in the exercise, despite having very different capabilities. All the volunteers were very welcoming and informative about the organisation and it was lovely to see there are charities like this making such a positive impact on people’s lives."

Nicola's MS Story
A great article about living with MS and refusing to give in. A fitting tribute too to her mum Maureen who was a stalwart of AIMS and did so much to support us. Maureen was a talented artist and crafter and with the help of her fellow arts and crafts members raised several thousand pounds for MS support locally.
