New facilities for people with multiple sclerosis will be officially opened today.

Hounslow Mayor Genevieve Hibbs will cut the ribbon at Hounslow MS Society's newly extended headquarters in New Heston Road, Heston, at midday.

The improved facilities mean people with MS and other neurological conditions can benefit from better physiotherapy and other vital treatments.

The newly named Neurological & Therapy Centre will also provide space for yoga, aromatherapy, relaxation and reflexology.

Hounslow MS Society has been running for 44 years and has about 80 members who regularly visit the centre.
