Sponsors
More than 80 % of the funds needed to run our organisations comes from sponsors, donors, funders, and grants.
Currently there are no dedicated services available specifically for people with Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s in our region.
We are incredibly grateful to everyone that enables us to provide these essential services.
