Branches in the Wessex and West Region

The Wessex & West Region has 13 local branches run by dedicated teams of volunteers. Each branch has a Welfare Officer who is available for advice, information & support for all people with MS, their carers and their families. Branches hold regular meetings and social events and often have separate groups for the newly diagnosed and younger people.

Exciting opportunities exist for volunteering within the branch network throughout Wessex & West. There may be a volunteer role that suits you from MS Support work, fundraising, secretarial, newsletter editor, website editor, events co-ordinator and much more! If you would like more information about getting involved locally then please contact Sandra Woods, Local Support Development Officer.
