As we gear up to Christmas and the Big Give Christmas Challenge, let's look back at a jam-packed autumn of fundraising! We have had so many brilliant people getting their trainers on and taking to the streets to run all in the name of the MPS Society. Discos, golf events, awareness talks, and ice cream have also been at the forefront of our fabulous fundraisers. What more could you ask for? Let’s see what everyone has been up to!

The wonderful Steffi from our communications department had the pleasure of visiting Snugburys in October to see the 45-foot Paddington and even got to test out some of the delicious ice creams! Thank you to the whole team for continuing to raise funds and awareness for the MPS Society.
