At the MS Society we put people affected by MS at the centre of everything we do, and it’s this commitment that unites us across the UK. Our work is based on the hopes and aspirations of people affected by MS, from campaigning at all levels and funding ground-breaking research to providing support and information.

Our people are key to our success, and we offer a vibrant environment where staff and volunteers work alongside each other and make a real difference. We are looking for an Area Fundraiser to join our busy team.

This is an exciting opportunity to be part of the Society’s new area fundraising programme.
