The impact of the Covid pandemic on research into MS
Most charities will have seen their income fall during the Covid 19 pandemic. Income for MS Research has fallen by nearly 50%. Never the less, some very generous gifts and donations have enabled us to re-invigorate our work and to begin to fund new projects.
The COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc with scientific and medical research and most organisations supporting research are re-examining their position, especially in areas such as fundraising and short and long-term planning.
COVID-19 and our exit from the EU have both had an important impact on science and technology in the UK. Many senior scientists have expressed concern over the future of research funding and valuable support for international collaboration.
Some people who have very specific medical conditions have been advised to shield during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The COVID-19 pandemic has affected all organisations including the charity sector. Unfortunately, the latest coronavirus lockdown further reduces the opportunity for people to raise money for charity. There are, however, still many ways in which you can fundraise at this time and raise vitally needed funds for MS Research.
