Multiple Sclerosis Society - UK

The Multiple Sclerosis Society is the largest UK charity for people with multiple sclerosis with 360 branches providing local support for people with MS.  The Society is involved in around 70 MS research projects with a total commitment of £12million.  MS has been a recognized condition for 150 years; An estimated 2,500,000 people worldwide have MS, including approximately 85,000 people in the UK.  The Society runs four respite care homes with nearly 100 beds.  In the UK, one person in every 700 has MS, and it is significantly more prevalent in Scotland than elsewhere in Great Britain.

Multiple sclerosis is the most common disabling neurological disorder affecting young adults.  MS is the result of damage to myelin--the protective sheath surrounding nerve fibres of the central nervous system.  This damage interferes with messages between the brain and other parts of the body.

For some people, MS is characterised by periods of relapse and remission while for others it has a progressive pattern.  For everyone, it makes life unpredictable.

The MS Society provides respite care, a freephone MS Helpline, grants for home adaptations and mobility aids, education and training, specialist MS nurses and wide range of information.  Local branches cater for people of all ages and interests and are run by people with direct experience of MS.  Membership is open to people with MS, their families, carers, friends and supporters.
