MS Awareness Week - Can you lend a hand
MS Awareness Week will be happening from 14 - 20 September 2026 and we'd love you to get involved.
We have some great things planned this year, including:
- an awareness stand at the busy Sunday Farmer's Market at Brewtown
- our regular Wednesday morning rush-hour street appeal on CBD streets near Wellington Railway Station
- the return of a Wairarapa collection
- pop-up collections in Paekakariki and Wainuiomata.
We're also excited to tell you we're talking to our friends at Victoria University about another Bake Sale!
