|| Assistance Card Out Now
An assistance card has been released to help people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) get help when they need it quickly.
People with MS often need help quickly and find it difficult or embarrassing to explain why. A discreet new 'assistance card' from the MS Society explains that a person has MS, reassures that it is not infectious and describes everyday situations where help could be given.
A person may need a toilet urgently, be at high risk of stumbling and falling, or not be able to see clearly and needs guidance. The card, which can be slipped into a wallet, pocket or handbag, will explain if fatigue or weakness means asking to go to the front of the queue or if MS is the cause of slurred speech.
The assistance card is available free from the Information Team, MS National Centre, 372 Edgware Road, Cricklewood, London NW2 6ND or call 020 8438 0799 or email Information
