When general elections come around, we try to raise our voices about the changes people with MS have told us are important to them.
To kick off the election campaign we launched a manifesto for MS, laying out our calls for the next UK government. This includes making Personal Independence Payments (PIP) make sense; creating a social care system that works for everyone; and ensuring access to cannabis-based medicines for people with MS.
We followed this by launching a campaign calling on the new Prime Minister to act now to change the often humiliating and degrading process of claiming PIP. Over 21,000 of you signed a letter in support of this and, in the coming weeks, we'll be taking this letter to Downing Street to tell the Prime Minister we can’t wait any longer.
As we go into the new year, we'll keep speaking up with everyone affected by MS. A new Parliament brings new opportunities for us to campaign on the issues we identified in our manifesto for MS, and more.
If you'd like to add your voice to our campaigns and tell us what matters to you, then please join our campaigns community via our website.
