Policy and Campaigns
The Policy and Campaigns team ensures that the voice of people affected by MS is heard in Parliament, by policy makers in the civil service, and at the highest level of government.
Many people with MS are still denied the ability to fully participate in society and find that existing services are not meeting their needs. This is why the MS Society is fighting for better services and a more equitable society for all those affected by the condition, and we need your help.
