As a dedicated volunteer, Marcus uses the skills from his career to support us across the country.

If you've ever thought about volunteering, Marcus's advice is simple: 'I would thoroughly recommend it... It’s rewarding to commit your time to a worthy cause.'

Ann Hughes spent two decades serving as an RAF Policewoman. But in 2007, she faced a diagnosis of Multiple Sclerosis (MS).

After being discharged, Ann felt lost and struggled as her mobility deteriorated.

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to provide support to Ann.
