Individual Grants - April 2020 - National service suspended

Due to the ongoing coronavirus situation, the MS Society national grants programme has had to be paused. We will not be able to accept new applications, process applications already received or support local group applications. We understand this will be disappointing news, but a lot of difficult decisions are having to be made at the moment to try to protect the MS Society for the future. For both financial and practical reasons, it isn't possible to continue with with our national grants programme at the moment.

Updates on COVID-19 and what we're doing

The changing world is meaning that we’re having to continuously make difficult decisions about how we need to adapt as an organisation. This includes the very hard decision to stop all face-to-face support across our community, in line with government advice.

Supporting our community

Throughout this crisis our number one priority is supporting people affected by MS. We will provide the most accurate and up-to-date information, opportunities to connect, and practical help and support to our community.

Last year we held a number of events as part of a review of the support we provide to our local groups. These Volunteer Voice events were well received by those who attended and provided an opportunity for volunteers to meet with senior staff, discuss issues and suggest ways that we can better support you to meet the challenges you face.
