The Library and Information Centre at the MS National Centre provides accessible information on all aspects of living with multiple sclerosis.

It is open to anyone affected by MS, including carers and professionals. For those unable to visit the Centre, an enquiry line is available from 10.00 – 3.00, Monday to Friday (020-8438 0799), or you can contact us by email.

As well as providing document-based information, the centre organises regular awareness talks both in venues around the country and online. It can also provide help and guidance for anyone interested in setting up their own MS resource centre.

The MS Society has a number of local information centres.
