A group supporting people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) received a new bus today (Monday) to help provide transport to their weekly day centre in Southrepps.
The north Norfolk branch of the MS Society purchased the bus following a bequest left by Fakenham resident Donald Belsom after his wife was diagnosed with the neurological condition.
The bus will be used to transport members to the day centre, Life and MS (LAMS), which meets every Monday in the village hall and for outings in north Norfolk.

A scheme exists for disabled, old or longterm sick to order their own care but many councils make it hard to use, writes Lesley Riddoch
It’s been a bad week for the caring reputation of the state.
A Sunday paper carried the story of a Scottish multiple sclerosis sufferer bedridden for two years after being discharged from hospital with bed sores. The 56-year-old Gourock woman was given a specially adapted bed (crammed into her own dining room) but no cure, compensation, physiotherapy or apparent caring support from anyone but her 80-year-old mother.
