The Good Care Group’s Post

Well done to Jade Springett for hiking up Mount Snowdon in 45mph wind and torrential rain to raise money for MS Society alongside 4 friends. So far they have raised £4400 for an amazing charity so close to their hearts. MS is an invisible disability and everyday comes with different challenges. Whilst there is currently no cure, there are disease modifying treatments (DMT’s) to help manage the symptoms and help reduce further disability. In recent years - research into MS is progressing and developing but funding is much needed for this to happen. Please help them reach their target of £4500. All donations help fund research into new treatments; and ways to help people live better with MS. The MS Society can then keep working towards a future free from the effects of MS, for everyone. https://lnkd.in/ekEW7TvF #multiplesclerosisawareness #fundraising #charity #MSsociety

Philanthropy is an important value at Wealth Matters.

As #EpilepsyAwarenessMonth draws to a close, it's the right time to reflect on those affected by #RareEpilepsies - carers and patients alike - and also the tireless work being carried out by researchers and charities.

Each month, we ask a member of the Wealth Matters team to nominate a charity, which we then donate to. Recently, our Client Relationship Manager Chantelle chose Sickle Cell Society. Chantelle said: "I chose SCS because I have sickle cell trait and my cousin has sickle cell disorder. I wanted to give blood to help her and others, as I found out that I have a rare blood group that can help people with sickle cell. As there’s not that much awareness on it and I just wanted to give what I could."
