Does your company have any surplus office equipment, like laptops or other tech? Do you have access to advertising space, such as in a magazine, or online? Or something that would make a fantastic raffle prize, like a gift basket or theatre tickets? A ‘Gift in Kind’ is a kind of charitable giving where goods and services are provided to a charity instead of money. If you’re looking to support the MS Trust in a different way, we’re always happy to receive your support for something we could use in the office, or a raffle prize we could give away to the hard working MS health professionals at our annual conference. We’d love to hear from you – get in touch with us at [email protected] to start the conversation.
