The Multiple Sclerosis Society of Ireland (MS Ireland) was the beneficiary of a donation from the charity, The Hospital Saturday Fund, recently.

MS Ireland provides a range of services, resources, information and support to those living with MS, their family members, employers and health professionals. The donation will be used to help fund this service.

In 2008, the Hospital Saturday Fund charity paid out over €380,000 in donations and grants to medical charities for care and research, hospices and hospitals across Ireland and the UK. Assistance was also given to individuals whose illness or disability has caused financial difficulties.
