Sainsbury’s Forestside store in Belfast, one of the busiest in the UK, has choosen
the MS Society as its charity in the first three months of the New Year. The MS 
Society’s Resource Centre for Northern Ireland is based less than a mile from the
store.

Sainsbury’s support will be largely passive by allowing the MS Society to be the
beneficiary of their charity collection boxes located in the store.

Nathan Portess, Duty Manager of Sainsbury’s Forestside explained: ‘The stationary
Box gives staff and customers the opportunity to donate their loose change to charity.
We selected the MS Society as a beneficiary because the charity is locally based
and to back the Mayor of Castlereagh, Councillor Tommy Jeffers who is supporting
the charity during his Mayoral term.’

With almost 2,000 members, the MS Society is the leading charity providing support
to people living with MS throughout Northern Ireland.
