Taking time out to take 'time out'...

elly.jpgHasn’t it been a busy week? Isn’t it always?

We at Whitewater know how you feel! That’s why we grabbed the opportunity to take a ‘time out’ in support of the MS Society's Cake Break.

What a great idea… Take five minutes, grab a brew, sample some delicious baked goodies and have a chat with colleagues. All we needed to do was contribute our spare change in return. Simple.

As you can see we enjoyed the chance to down tools and get away from our desks.

And now it’s all over? We’ve raised a nice bit of cash in support of a great cause; we’ve rounded off MS Week in a sweet way and we’re all back at our desks raring to go, working away, just ever so slightly high on sugar.

The benefits of taking time out at work are well documented. So, how about a cake break every Friday…?

MS Week gets off to an inspiring start

tain.jpgThis week is MS week and to kick things off the Whitewater team got to attend the MS Society awards. As always the inspirational stories that were told throughout the evening, kept emotions high and the passion for creating even better fundraising appeals for the MS Society higher. Especially when our target beating September warm appeal star Cliff Hewison, won the award for MS Campaign for the year!

Cliff was denied funding for access to functional electrical stimulation (FES) despite being assessed as someone who would benefit from, and who was eligible for, the treatment. It took Cliff three appeals before he was granted access to FES.

Cliff’s campaign inspired the MS Society’s How to campaign for FES guide which has won an unprecedented NICE endorsement. It empowers people with MS to get what they are entitled to from the NHS and helps people challenge local decision makers. Well done Cliff!

If you fancy doing something this week for MS Week, why not take in part in a
cake break - we will be today!
