We're working hard to improve our Online Shop and move it to a new platform - the current shop will close on 24 December 2018.

We want to provide a great experience for people who choose to volunteer with us so this year we have been working towards Investing in Volunteers (IiV) accreditation. Investing in Volunteers is the UK quality standard for good practice in volunteer management.

We’re now on the home stretch with our application – waiting for the result of our assessment. We should receive the decision on whether or not we have achieved the standard, at the end of January but looking back now, at the close of the year, we can be pleased with what we have achieved together.

Volunteers, supporters, campaigners and ambassadors from across the MS community came together for a reception at 10 Downing Street, hosted by the Prime Minister, Theresa May.

“I hope, together, we will be able to continue to support people living with and affected by MS to the best of our ability in our caring and professional manner.”

Patricia Gordon, our former Director for Northern Ireland, has now taken up the role of Acting CEO. Patricia will be in post until the end of January 2019. Our newly appointed CEO, Nick Moberly, starts in January and will work alongside Patricia to get to know us as well as possible before taking over as CEO in February.
