Staff members at British Energy have chosen the MS Society as their charity of the
year for 2008-09.

The partnership was launched at a reception on the Terrace of the House of Commons
yesterday when Secretary of State for Health, Alan Johnson MP, announced the partnership
in the presence of fellow politicians and representatives from British Energy and
the MS Society.

This is the fourth year that [British Energy](http://www.british-energy.com) has
joined up with a national charity; last year the power company raised more than 
£500,000 for Help the Hospices.

British Energy operates nine UK power stations and staff at each site will work 
with their local branch or branches of the MS Society to make a difference to local
people in their area.
