A local charity is calling for community support as they're given a fantastic opportunity.

The team at the Neuro Therapy Centre have recently made their 5,000th support call, as their services support people with neurological conditions across the region.

They're now asking for help to keep their Virtual Centre going as donations supporting their services will be match-funded next month.

Staff at the Centre are urging as many people to get involved as possible at this important time by making a donation to help fund their vital work.

The Centre started offering many of its life-changing services online in April as a result of the pandemic, and as they adapted their delivery, the charity has found new ways to help people across the region with plans to expand their work in the future.

Jane Johnston-Cree, Centre Director at the Neuro Therapy Centre said: "This year has been a challenging one for all of us.

The Centres virtual services now feature regular telephone support, telephone and online counselling sessions, nine live exercises sessions a week and a range of recorded exercise sessions and therapies.

Jane added: "Our virtual services are helping people who sometimes find it a struggle to visit our Centre in Saltney due to transport or work commitments.

Clare Moulton, from Sychdyn in Flintshire, was diagnosed with MS in 1997, and has been attending physiotherapy and gym sessions at the Neuro Therapy Centre since 2018.

The Centre re-opened in September for in-Centre services but it will be next year before the same number of people will be able to attend its services on a weekly basis in person.

Jane said: "We intend to keep our virtual centre going alongside our in-Centre services in the future, which is why wed love as many people as possible to get behind our match-funding Big Give campaign.

"We know transport can be a real issue, and if these services can help people who have been newly diagnosed and are still in work too that would be fantastic."

Between noon on December 1 and noon on December 8, the Neuro Therapy Centres Big Give web page will be live, and there is 10,000 of match-funding available for donations of any size to be doubled for free.

The Centre also has an online Christmas Concert with local artists Matt Violet and The Last Minute performing on Saturday, December 5, and is encouraging people to wear a Christmas jumper and make a donation to the site during that week.

If people would like to make a donation to the Neuro Therapy Centre visit their Big Give page.

The Neuro Therapy Centre, based in Saltney, Chester, supports people with neurological conditions including MS, Parkinsons, ME and MND, and their Carers from across Cheshire, North Wales and the Wirral.
