Give Back Friday to the MS Society

MS Society Fundraising

With Black Friday just around the corner on Friday 29th November 2019, the newspapers, TV and social media channels are full of discounts for the day.  But the team at Bann Mobility offer great deals all year round on their extensive range of mobility equipment so they have decided to adopt a different approach to Black Friday.

“Instead of a Black Friday promotion, we are having a Give Back Friday on Friday 29th November,“ explained John Knipe, the Managing Director of Portadown-based business Bann Mobility.  “For every product purchased on that day, we will make a donation to the MS Society. MS is a disease which unfortunately impacts the lives of many of our customers who purchase mobility scooters, wheelchairs, stairlifts and other pieces of equipment to help them to live as independently as possible.”

What is MS?

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a condition that affects the brain and spinal cord. In MS, the coating that protects your nerves (myelin) is damaged. This causes a range of symptoms like blurred vision and problems with how people move, think and feel.

“We are delighted that Bann Mobility have decided to support the MS Society in this way”, commented Tom Mallon, the Northern Ireland Fundraising Manager of the MS Society.  “We rely on community and businesses to provide services and support for people living with MS. We hope this is the beginning of a long term partnership with Bann Mobility and we look forward to working with the team in the future.”
