As a volunteer, you’re a representative of the MS Society. This means you must meet our standards in order to ensure a safe and supportive environment for those with, or affected by, MS.

All volunteers must:

• Keep to our code of conduct
• Follow our brand guidelines
• Not misuse the MS Society name, brand or charity number
• Stay up-to-date with the MS Society’s position on current issues, such as new drug trials
• Value and respect one another
• Ensure nobody is harassed, bullied or victimised
• Report unfair or offensive treatment
• Not discriminate against anybody when providing services
• Involve people affected by MS in decision-making and encourage them to play an active role in your group or branch
