The Chilterns MS Centre in Wendover has today unveiled their rebrand to the Chilterns Neuro Centre, reflecting their expansion of support services to people with neurological conditions such as Parkinson’s and stroke survivors.
Since 1985, the Centre has provided thousands of people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in the Chilterns and surrounding area with a wide range of services, including physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, oxygen therapy, acupuncture, pilates, and social leisure groups.
At the beginning of last year, the Centre launched a pilot programme to open up their services to a wider range of people and, today, almost ten per cent of their 650 members have Parkinson’s or are stroke survivors.
Richard Parkin, CEO of the Chilterns Neuro Centre, said: “We are really excited about what this rebrand represents. Being able to open up the support we offer to so many more people, helping them to live life to the full, is an incredible opportunity.”
Karen Cross, Trustee at the Chilterns Neuro Centre, who led the rebrand project, added: “This is about making the Centre more inclusive to those we support. We want all our members to feel welcome so by changing our name we will make them feel like they are part of the Centre.”
Kevin Towler, one of the new Parkinson’s members supported by the Centre, said: “The Centre is a place where people can go and join in activities and socialise in a safe and friendly environment. I have been using it for over a year and have found it very helpful. For me, the main thing is I am doing something positive and in control of my Parkinson’s. I use many of the services and the staff, volunteers and therapists are all very friendly and welcoming.”
The process for rebranding began almost a year ago with focus groups being held with a range of stakeholders. The Centre worked with a local branding agency to develop the new brand, which was approved by the Board earlier in the year and by the members at the AGM in May.
People affected by MS, Parkinson’s or stroke survivors are encouraged to get in touch with the Chilterns Neuro Centre by phoning 01296 696133 or by emailing info@chilternsneurocentre.org.
