Getting Support
Our Helpline and National Support Groups can provide help and point you in the right direction for information. There are currently National Support Groups for the Asian community (Asian MS), for those in the armed forces (Mutual Support) and for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgengered people (GLAMS).Getting support as someone who is a carer is equally important, our Carers Section can help.
