What we do

The South Cornwall Branch offers support and information to those whose lives are affected by MS in our area. Some of the services we offer are:

  • Information about MS
  • Transport advice
  • Carer's group
  • Social events
  • Physiotherapy 
  • Yoga
  • Monthly Branch newsletter
  • Grants
  • Voucher Sheme


Support
Our trained MS Support Officer is always available to assist with any problem relating to MS.  We want people with MS, their families and carers to feel that they are not alone and there is support available if they need it. We are also keen to support people with MS to keep healthy and we are always looking at providing services to help achieve this. Do you have any ideas we could consider?


Carers
Carers are vital to people with MS and it helps to know that there are others who have the same difficulties as them.  To provide support we have a carers group that meets once a month at the home of our Carers Officer. Why not take a look at our Carers Page.


Information
Having information is vital in dealing with any problem and we hold a full range of the Society's literature covering every aspect of living with MS.  All literature produced by the Society is free of charge.


Membership
There is a £5.00 annual subscription and this entitles members to our monthly branch newsletter and also the Society's bi-monthly magazine 'MS Matters'.  Membership is a great way to keep up to date with what is happening locally and with the latest research and news.  Membership also gives you the opportunity to decide how the branch is run.


Groups
We have a sub group, The Helston & Lizard Group, and other informal groups.  As we are very rural and cover a wide geographical area groups like these can be invaluable in reaching people affected by MS living in outlying areas.

 




Branch Essentials
We are committed to providing The Essentials, the MS Society's minimum standards for basic branch services.
