Charity fund raising. Great to support charities but where are your donations going to in reality? Do you know how much is actually going to your Charity of choice? Many charities are desperate for much needed funds. Make sure your money goes to where you choose. Why not gift directly to the charity and cut out the middlemen? Need help on philanthropic giving in the most tax efficient way? We can assist you. #charitygiving #giftaid #Probono ‘Emotional blackmail’: inside the agencies raising millions for GOSH https://lnkd.in/eRvBjrSF

🧠 Today is #WorldMSADay, a crucial time to raise awareness about a disease with a misdiagnosis rate as high as 20%. ⚕️ Multiple System Atrophy (MSA) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting the central and autonomic nervous systems. It causes movement difficulties, balance and coordination issues, and autonomic dysfunction. The disease progresses rapidly, leading to increased disability and often necessitating walking aids. 👁️ A crucial aspect of #MSA is eye movement dysfunction, caused by degeneration in brainstem structures that control eye movements. Diagnosing MSA is particularly challenging: 🩺 MSA is categorized as an atypical parkinsonian syndrome due to its resemblance to Parkinson's disease. It’s frequently misdiagnosed as Parkinson's or progressive supranuclear palsy, complicating research efforts across all three conditions. 🩺MSA presents in two distinct forms: MSA-P (parkinsonian type) and MSA-C (cerebellar type), each with unique clinical features, progression rates, and treatment responses. These 2 forms are hard to distinguish. New research highlights the potential of eye movement monitoring to revolutionize MSA diagnosis and care. It offers the ability to: 🔬Improve diagnostic accuracy, reducing the need for unnecessary invasive tests 🔬Enhance patient selection for clinical trials, ultimately speeding up the development of new treatments 💪Today, let's raise awareness and work towards better outcomes for those living with MSA.

Why should you donate to Gold For Kids and not direct to children’s charities? This is such a great question, so let us explain. We are drawing on untapped potential cash from dental clinics across the UK and we can raise so much more by enrolling dentists to donate their patients' unwanted crowns and bridge work and other dental restorations. These all contain precious metals which have a cash value. We also ask the public to donate their unwanted, old or broken gold jewellery for the same reason. Dental practices can also suggest charities who are aligned with our mission to address child poverty in the UK, no matter the size, big or small, to apply for money from our grant funding. By donating to Gold for Kids instead of to charities directly, we are able to make an even bigger impact to many more children who desperately need our help. If you would like any other information or if you have a question to ask us, please email info@goldforkids.org. Thank you. 😀 #dentists #dentalpractice #dentalnurse #dentalpracticeowner #dentalpracticemanager #dentallaboratory #charity #childrenscharity #goldsforkids #grantfunding #childpoverty #costofliving #goldforcash
