MS Helpline - could you spare a few hours a week?

Could you spare a few hours a week to provide emotional support and information for people affected by MS? If so, our MS Helpline team would like to hear from you.

Investing in Volunteers

In the next few months we’ll be independently assessed for Investing in Volunteers accreditation.

Monthly health and safety drop-in session (first Tuesday of every month)

On the first Tuesday of every month, at around 3pm, our Health and Safety Officer will join the weekly Zoom drop-in hosted by the Volunteer Support Team (VST).

MS Walks – volunteers needed

Summer is fast approaching and we’re looking forward to our MS Walks returning this year in Cardiff, Glasgow, London and Manchester. Plus there's a new walk in Birmingham!

The walks couldn't happen without the generosity of our volunteers. If you can give some of your time to help at an MS Walk, we’d love to hear from you. We have various times and roles available throughout the day. There are no specific skills required — just enthusiasm and a can-do attitude.

Please find the links below to get in touch and find out more about volunteering at a walk near you.

MS Awareness Week is back for 2024

Mark your calendars because MS Awareness Week is back! This year, it runs from 22 – 28 April, and we’re hoping it'll be bigger and better than ever before.






For the second year in a row, we’re teaming up with our friends at MS Together, the MS Trust, MS-UK, the Neuro Therapy Network (formerly MS National Therapy Centres), Shift.ms and Overcoming MS.

Latest information booklets











Our information booklets for family, friends and carers have all been reviewed and updated.

  • For family and friends - when someone close to you has MS
  • Supporting someone with MS
  • Advanced MS - a carer's handbook

Any copies sent out since 5 February will be the latest versions (all dated October 2023). Thank you to all the volunteers who reviewed this information. Our web information for family, friends and carers has also been updated.

MS Society £4,000 Raffle 2024










The MS Society £4,000 raffle launched last month. It’s a fun way to support our work and be in with a chance to win one of over 20 prizes. Every £1 ticket sold in our raffles helps to fund vital research into MS, as well as much needed support and services for the 130,000 people living with MS in the UK.

Introducing our new-look website

Our new-look main website is set to go live early April. As well as a fresh new face there are some important changes that will help us develop stronger, deeper and longer-lasting relationships with our audiences.



More than just a pretty face

The new website will include a refreshed colour palette and new fonts, which will both improve accessibility.

We’ve elevated our brand!

If you’re eagle-eyed, you may already have noticed that our refreshed new brand identity is now rolling out across the organisation at a fast pace. With new bold colours, new accessible font, a new refined logo, and new illustrations… it’s all systems go! And there’s loads more to come.



We hope that you enjoy our new brand and how it positively represents our community. As well as being vibrant, engaging, and modern, it’s highly accessible, flexible, and inclusive.

Volunteers needed at TCS London Marathon on 21 April

The London Marathon 2024 is just around the corner and we have a team of over 300 runners taking on 26.2 miles for the MS Society. Together they’re hoping to raise an incredible £700,000, so we really want to ensure that they have a great experience and feel supported along the whole route.

We need your help!

This year we need the help of volunteers to join us in making lots of noise and cheering on our fantastic team. Volunteers are a vital part of all our cheer points along the route.
