What our client's say

Mark
“I am a regular user of the oxygen therapy provided at the Centre. I find the sessions have helped with my MS and in particular my mobility. The Centre itself provides a safe and supportive environment where I can meet with other MS sufferers and exchange information and more importantly have a laugh!”

“On the 22nd April 2018 I crashed my bike while racing at Anglesey, breaking my Tibia, Fibula and Talus bones in my right ankle. The hospital in Bangor were amazing and gave me the best chance of making a good recovery but due to the nature of a Talur fracture there was still a one in three chance the damaged bone would die and the ankle joint would need to be fused solid.
