GRANT APPLICATION GUIDANCE NOTES FOR INDIVIDUALS
                           
MS Research and Relief Fund (MSRRF) aims to provide support to people affected by MS. This is done in a number of ways - one of which is the award of financial grants
towards the cost of aids, equipment or services, which may help relieve the symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis or improve quality of life. Because of the diversity of MS, grants may be wide-ranging according to the needs of individuals.

Grants will be considered for people with MS, their immediate family or carers.

Please enclose any supporting information you may have, e.g. from an MS Nurse,
Occupational Therapist, Social Worker etc.

MS Research and Relief Fund recommends that where appropriate, grant applications should be made to relevant statutory bodies before applying to MSRRF.
