Current circumstances have had all of us feeling a little stuck in limbo. A lot of us have been kept at home even if we’re not unwell, which we’re learning is pretty hard in itself! But then, it does remind us that some people have to make adjustments in their life even under normal circumstances, due to a condition they might live with. With this on our minds, what better moment will there be to raise much-needed funds, and raise spirits while we’re at it!

The MS Society is a community of people affected by multiple sclerosis, including researchers, fundraisers, volunteers and more. Since the UK lockdown, they teamed up with Trickbox to stream a huge live pub quiz connecting fun-loving supporters on their Facebook page. What’s better, they were hosted by the one and only Scott Mills!

It was a whole lot of fun, and as of the last quiz raised over £55,000 for this important cause. If you fancy a rewatch, you can find the link on their Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/events/216669782897805/. We’re glad to have teamed up for such a great cause.

To help raise vital funds for people with multiple sclerosis, the MS Society held its first ever Christmas Concert at St. Paul’s Cathedral in London. The concert took place in December 2016 with performances from St. Paul’s Cathedral Consort, Soul Sanctuary Gospel Choir, Robin Tritschler, Gerald Finley, Sir John Tomlinson and Catherine Wyn Rogers performed music. The evening also featured readings specially written by British playwright and screenwriter, Abi Morgan.

Wanting to make the most of such a special occasion and allow for people with MS to be part of the evening remotely, the MS Society asked Trickbox TV if it would live stream the concert via the charity’s Facebook and YouTube pages.

Trickbox provided full multi-camera and live streaming facilities including crew to ensure the event could be broadcast live to people unable to attend the exclusive concert. Large screens were installed throughout the cathedral so the 2,000 MS Society supporters could watch the service without a struggle.

Liam Laminman, Managing Director of Trickbox TV, commented; “We’re honoured to have been involved in the MS Society Christmas Concert. St Paul’s Cathedral is an amazing London landmark to work in and we were thrilled to provide professional live streaming services for such a worthy cause.”
