A church gate collection in aid of MS Ireland will be held in local churches this weekend. MS Ireland exists to facilitate people with Multiple Sclerosis, to control their lives and influence their environment, to live with dignity and participate in the community. MS Helpline 1850 233 233 is a direct and confidential service and provides support, advice and further information on all aspects of living with MS. The helpline provides people with MS, their families, friends and colleagues with advice and support on all aspects of living with Multiple Sclerosis. The MS helpline is manned by a team of trained professionals available to talk, or more importantly listen, to anyone concerned about or with Multiple Sclerosis. Does a member of your family, a colleague, neighbour or friend have MS and you need more information? The helpline assists people to source information regarding entitlements and benefits, state services, employment issues, transport, insurance and holidays. You can access the MS Helpline on 1850 233 233. This service is available from Monday to Friday from 10 am – 5 pm.
