Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre, Mid Argyll
We aim to improve the quality of life for families affected by Multiple Sclerosis and other debilitating conditions by offering access to specialist support in a positive environment.

History of the Centre

Mid Argyll, formerly known as Mid Argyll Friends of ARMS (Action and Research on Multiple Sclerosis) was established in 1992 through the efforts of a group of people with MS, and their carers. They raised funds locally by staging community events and were able to build a therapy centre in 1996, providing a vital link in care in the community between the voluntary sector and the consumers at whom this care is directed.

A major driving force behind this initiative is the fact that Mid Argyll has an extremely high incidence of people with Multiple Sclerosis, on average in the UK, one in 700 people has MS, yet in Mid Argyll this rate is one in 300.

We aim to promote a proactive approach to living with MS, focusing on what our members with MS are able to do. Activities include yoga, Dance, Movement Therapy and a range of exercise machines. We also offer supportive listening, up to date and relevant information and a range of therapies including physiotherapy, hyperbaric oxygen therapy and massage in a fully accessible, comfortable and friendly environment.

We are open to all and provide much needed community resources such as a weekly coffee morning, quilt making group and games afternoon for the elderly in our community.

We could not offer our essential and valued services without the enthusiasm and absolute dedication of our 40 volunteers and the amazing support from our local community
