As a not for profit organisation fundraising is essential to enable us continue to provide services to our clients and their families.

The events each year do vary but we also have our regular events too including the Michael Ford Memorial Charity Golf Tournament and our annual appeal.

MS Awareness

MS doesn’t just affect one person, it affects many others around them too. World MS Day, a global awareness will take place on the 30th May and New Zealands MS Awareness week will take place from the 9 - 15 September. During these periods we strive to raise public awareness and understanding of Multiple Sclerosis as well as well as services provided.

To have stalls during MS Awareness Week is quite a large task and we are always seeking volunteers to assist with this.  If think you may like to assist with future events, even for just an hour or two, please contact us to register your interest, every little helps to make a difference and is appreciated.

The Michael Ford Memorial Charity Golf Tournament

Established in 1999 by Michael Ford the tournament has been an annual fundraiser for us. Michael Ford was a successful, dynamic business man; however his world was turned upside down when at the age of 36 he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

The tournament takes place early Autumn each year at the Ngahinepouri golf club. Playing a stableford tournament the event is supported by many local businesses.
