THE Swindon branch of the MS Society is looking for a local person to take on a vital role on its committee – the branch chair.

Alan Tarrant has been the branch chair for almost three years.

The 55-year-old has MS himself – his condition has progressed recently and that is one of the reasons he is standing down.

If you’re interested or would like to find out more contact the MS Society’s Local Support Development Officer for Wessex and West, Emily Perriam, on emily.perriam@mssociety.org.uk or 0208 438 0743.
