Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) Trust is our quarterly charity. MSA is a progressive neurological disorder that affects adult men and women, including our former Vicar Jeremy. It is caused by degeneration or atrophy of nerve cells in several or multiple areas of the brain which can result in problems with movement, balance and  autonomic functions of the body such as bladder and blood pressure control.

The MSA Trust is the UKs support and information service for people with multiple system atrophy, their families and carers. It also funds research to find the cause and, one day, cure for MSA.

The Trust’s Vision is a world free of MSA. Its mission is to find the cause and, ultimately, cure for MSA. Until that day they will do all they can to support people affected by MSA and to strive to ensure that they are not alone on their individual journeys.

On Sunday 24th February we shall welcome Prof. Clare Fowler, an eminent retired  neurologist from London, to give an address in our family communion service at 10.00 about this distressing condition.
