Background
to The Therapy Centre
|
The
Berkshire Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre (BMSTC) was established: to provide
a range of therapy treatments, guidance and support; to encourage self-help; to
enable improved disease symptom management; and to promote an enhanced quality
of life for people with MS, their families and carers. |

|
Founded in 1984 and operating from a 40' x 40' Portakabin on a small rented site in Caversham, BMSTC membership and activity achieved steady growth. |
Old centre |
| Successful fund-raising during the 1990s enabled purchase of
a 0.6 acre site upon which to construct a much larger purpose-built Centre. The
Centre is unique in Berkshire, as neither the NHS nor any other public or
private agency provides a comparable range of services. |
