Welcome

One of the MS Trust's goals is to help everyone understand the impact of multiple sclerosis, not just those directly affected by MS. We work to achieve this every day, but MS Awareness Week gives us a real opportunity to help people across the UK understand what it means to have MS, to focus the debate on how to improve MS services. It also gives you the opportunity to do something to raise awareness of MS in your locality and we can help you achieve that.

The truth is that MS is a very complex and unpredictable disease and it is not currently possible to predict how an individual's MS will develop. The type, duration, severity and impact of symptoms will vary from person to person. Some people will go for long periods with few or no symptoms whilst others will experience more frequent or persistent problems.

How can you help?

Will you help us raise awareness this year? You could set up an information stand at work, in your local library, your GP’s office or anywhere that you think might get people’s attention. Contact us for an MS Awareness information pack.

Join the £50 fundraising challenge! What can you do to raise £50 for the MS Trust? Whether it's something as simple as putting a collecting box in your local pub or something as daring as shaving your head, it will all contribute to public awareness of MS and will generate much needed funds.

Take part in our photography competition and help us to raise awareness through art. Details will be available in MS Awareness Week.
