Proposed New Therapy Centre For the following reasons we have launched an Appeal to raise £1.5m to develop and equip a badly needed, new, purposed-built Therapy Centre in Canterbury...
Established in 1984, the Therapy Centre provides a range of therapies, advice and support for people with MS, of whom there are nearly 1,000 in East Kent, together with their families, carers and friends.
These therapies, and especially Oxygen Therapy, are also available to those with other conditions including Cerebral Palsy, head injuries, stroke victims, sports injuries, leg ulcers and post operative cancer and other wounds.
We receive no Government assistance or other funding towards the annual cost of running the Centre, some £90,000pa, all of which is raised through donations and fundraising.
The existing Therapy Centre is housed in a prefabricated building which is nearing the end of its useful life and is no longer large enough to accommodate the facilities we need to meet the increasing demand for the therapies we provide.
