Earlier this year, the ReAgent Foundation donated £10,000 to MS-UK, one of our 2026 charitable partners.
MS-UK supports people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) through services including a helpline, counselling, online wellbeing classes, and peer support groups.
Here’s how our funding is helping improve lives in a very practical way.
Supporting MS-UK’s Exercise and Mental Wellbeing Programmes
MS-UK has split our donation between two programmes designed to help people living with MS, both physically and mentally.
Their new exercise classes run twice-weekly for nine months. Sessions focus on improving physical strength and mobility so participants can maintain their independence.
Their meditation programme runs weekly for eight months and gives participants different ways to improve their mental wellbeing.
How the Programmes Started
At the beginning of May, MS-UK held an introductory strength-training class. More than 100 people attended, which was an amazing start.
That session marked the beginning of the new online exercise programme structured around two ability levels so participants can exercise at a pace that works for them.
Alongside the exercise sessions, MS-UK launched its meditation programme, which includes guided meditation, qigong, and chair yoga.
Why MS-UK Matters to Us
Our support for MS-UK is about more than donating. The charity has a deeply personal connection: Steve Hudson, former Managing Director of ReAgent and our current CEO, Rich Hudson’s father, suffered from multiple sclerosis.
That personal connection makes our partnership with MS-UK particularly meaningful. Next year, Rich will be running the Manchester Marathon on behalf of MS-UK.
If you’d like to support Rich, you can donate through his fundraising page. We’re also organising a cheer squad to get behind Rich and everyone else running for MS-UK.
For us, this is an opportunity to support a charity that means a great deal to ReAgent personally, while helping MS-UK provide practical wellbeing support to people living with MS.
