MS support group to hold open event in Wick
A LOCAL charity support group for people with multiple sclerosis is holding an open event in Wick on Saturday.
MS People Caithness was launched last year as a breakaway group from the national MS Society – with the aim of helping sufferers in the local area.
Charity volunteers will be warmly welcoming people along to the open afternoon in the Norseman Hotel.
As well as showing the public how the charity helps and supports local people affected by MS there will be the chance to ask for advice.
NHS Highland MS nurse Anne Stewart will be in attendance. Based at Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, Anne covers the Highland area and sees patients in hospital and their own homes to offer advice and support not only for people with MS but for their families and friends as well.
The event runs from 2pm to 4pm.
