About 'the Trust'
Cairns North MS Trust is a charity formed towards the middle of 2013 under the auspice of the Cairns North Rotary Club. http://rotarycairnsnorth.weebly.com
Funds will primarily be raised via targeted fund-raising events held throughout each year. 'The trusts' first support goal will be to make several lump funds available to individuals with MS. We aim to open applications for three separate funds of $1,000 from 2014. Dates and application criteria will be posted at a later date. Longer- term objectives include being able to continue to make these funds available each year and with ongoing support build the capacity to assist individuals out of session under special circumstances. In the future we also hope to secure the use of a drop-in/office/meeting venue for people with MS and their Carers.
