Our strategy is built on three pillars. The third is to live well. We want to build strong communities and a rich set of relevant and inclusive support services. So people with MS, and their families, friends and carers are connected and empowered to live well.
Supporting you to live well
We’re helping people with MS, and those who support them, to live well with MS. As the UK’s leading MS charity, we’re able to bring together trusted partners, service providers and information experts. So everyone can access the support they need, when and how they need it, to navigate life with MS well.
Creating MS communities
We’re helping build support communities. Empowering people through strong connections with others who understand MS. We’re here to provide life-long support and community which is inclusive and relevant for everyone affected by MS. Creating networks online through our forum, social media community and virtual sessions. Or in person through our local groups, retail shops and events.
"I began volunteering as a Communications Volunteer for the Heart of the MidlandsGroup, managing the group’s social media and promoting events from home.
“As my online presence grew, I was approached by Asian MS to volunteer with them at a national level.
“There are many cultural expectations that can add extra pressure on Asian people living with MS. And there’s sometimes an element of shame about living with a disability. At Asian MS, we break down the barriers, discuss taboo topics and create awareness. All to make everyday life a little more manageable, and accepting, within a South Asian family."
