Although many people have heard of MS, few people understand the complex, unpredictable, and potentially debilitating effects of the UK’s most common neurological condition affecting young adults. During MS week, as well as aiming to generally raise awareness and understanding of the condition, the MS Society is organising a number of national and local events which we need your help to make a success.

Campaigning during MS Week - improving social care for people with MS

23 April 2008, Westminster
As part of its centrepiece to activities during MS Week, the MS Society is holding a parliamentary reception in the Houses of Parliament. The theme of the meeting will be how the reform of social care can best address the complex and fluctuating needs of people affected by MS, and we will be presenting the results of a survey carried out by the MS Society.
