Waltham Forest

The Waltham Forest Branch is one of 31 branches that serves London. Our area concerns itself with those living in Woodford, Chingford, Walthamstow, Leyton and Leytonstone. We have 72 members (those with MS) and 26 supporter members.

Our Branch does not have a central office, business being conducted from committee members' homes. The Committee meets each month.

The Branch Club Night is on the last Wednesday of each month, except July and we don’t have a club night in January either (we go to a pantomime that month), at 7.30pm at St Edmund's Church Centre, which is on the corner of Chingford Mount Road and Larkswood Road, E4. Transport can be usually arranged. In addition to the normal Club Nights, there are outings throughout the year.

The Branch welcomes new members/supporters. Those wishing to know more about the MS Society in general or our Branch in particular, should first phone either of our Area Support Contacts or email Barbara Fox. A "New Contact" pack will then be sent, which will give further information about MS and will also include an invitation to join the MS Society.
