The MS Society is the UK's largest charity for people affected by multiple sclerosis (MS).

We are a membership organisation but provide services to all.

The Society funds MS research, runs respite care centres, provides grants (financial assistance), education and training on MS. It produces numerous publications on MS and runs a freephone specialist Helpline.

We are committed to bringing high standards of quality health and social care within reach of everyone affected by MS and to encourage and support medical and applied research into its cause and control. We have a vision and mission for action across the UK.

With a network of branches & regions across the UK, the Society has a National Centre in London and national offices in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales/Cymru.

Our Aims & Declaration

As a charity we aim to support and relieve people affected by MS, to encourage people affected by MS to attain their full potential by improving their conditions of life, and to promote and publish results from research into MS and allied conditions.

During 2007 the MS Society's members debated how they wanted the Society to address the challenges it would face over the next five years. As a result we were given five new aims. 

Governed by people affected by MS

As a membership organisation we involve the MS community in all of our activities while also offering membership benefits for the individual.

The MS Society board of trustees is elected from, and by, members of the MS Society. Every member has a right to vote in the elections and at the MS Society's annual general meeting.

The Board of Trustees has overall responsibility for the leadership of the MS Society, however in terms set out in the constitution the Board can and has delegated some powers to sub-committees, councils and the Chief Executive.

Delegated powers are set out in the Scheme of delegation (90 kb)
