Policies: Why they are important
As a MS Society Volunteer, you have the right to see our volunteering policies, but why would you want to read them?
Other than for personal interest, you might need a copy of the policies that you can find here when you are applying for grants, or working with your local Volunteer Centre or CVS to recruit new volunteers.
On this page you can find the short, simplified version of our policies. We would recommend that you start with these as they are clear, to the point and easy to understand.
