MS Research and Relief Fund’s operations aren’t solely based in the North East. We offer grants for aids, adaptations and services to people affected by MS throughout the United Kingdom. In the last few years alone, our funding has gone to people in Penzance, John O’Groats and hundreds of towns, cities and villages in between. The form including our Application Guidelines can be found in the sidebar.
Grants awards can be used to part-fund aids and adaptations or respite, which may help to relieve the symptoms of MS or improve the quality of life for people affected by MS. Because of the diversity of MS, grants may be equally diverse according to the needs of the individual. Read our Grant Application Guidelines for further details.
We can consider grants towards the cost of practical items such as adapted cars, wheelchairs, home adaptations, powered scooters, stair lifts etc. In addition, we will also consider requests for services which may make a significant improvement to the quality of life for someone with MS, e.g. respite care.
MSRRF is a small charity who offer grants to top-up other grant awards from likeminded Charities or local government funding, as such awards may not cover the full cost requested.
Applications can be submitted by individuals with MS, partners, carers, family members or advocates living in the UK.
