Services and activities on the Portal

The ‘services and activities’ tab on the Portal is our record of all services, activities and events delivered by MS Society groups throughout the UK.

Services and activities listed on the Portal are automatically published on our website. Maintaining this information on the Portal enables you to publicise your activities and keep us informed about what your group offers – a requirement for all our groups.

Whenever a person contacts the MS Helpline or our Supporter Care Team, the information we provide will be what is held on the Portal.

Being accessible to all

All venues used by your group to deliver services and activities must be physically accessible.

  1. Use our Access Audit to confirm your venues meet our accessibility standards

Accessibility can also mean that a service or activity is available by phone as well as face to face, or that transport is available, if required.
