About us

Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s Canterbury Charitable Trust provides services and support for those with or affected by MS or Parkinson’s, which are life-long chronic neurological conditions.

Our services empower and promote self-management and well-being:

• Education and workshops - to empower people with information through education.

• Health services - to provide professional 1 to 1 consultations, support, and appropriate referrals to other services.

• Social Connectiveness through support groups and activities – to connect people, aiming to reduce isolation.

• Exercise programmes and classes – Both gym facilitated and group exercise to keep active and maintain wellness.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
