"a wonderful event"

"It was my first time at ms space. I enjoyed it very much. Will hope to come back next year. Well done."

"I think that this was a well balanced day and the volunteers were very helpful.  MSSS does invaluable work for people with MS and I am glad to be a member as the support element of the organisation is fantastic."

"When will Edinburgh host MS Space?"



Guests also attended sessions on coping with cognitive difficulties, on relaxation techniques, on creative movement and dance, and on Chi gong.

Complementary therapy sessions were available throughout the day. The chocolate fountain in the foyer proved a big hit!

The day closed with a wonderful performance from Craigie Choir.
