Proud to be marching in Prides in London and Edinburgh!
On Saturday 4 July, we’ll be marching with our community in the Pride in London parade. In June we'll be at Pride Edinburgh. Will you join us?
Pride in London
We’re excited to be marching in Pride in London for the sixth time this year. We’ll be joined by our community and celebrities as well as other neurological charities. And we'd love for you to join us on the day! This year the parade is on Saturday 4 July.

Access in the Pride in London parade
We’ve worked with the parade team to improve the experience for our people.
Following on from last year, we will have access wrist bands for our group again. These grant access to disabled toilet facilities for anyone who needs them.
And we're going to be in the paced zone of the parade nearer the front.
Pride Edinburgh
For the first time ever, we'll be marching in Pride Edinburgh this year! It's on Saturday 20 June, straight after our research conference MS Frontiers.
Access at Pride Edinburgh
Pride Edinburgh parade route starts at Edinburgh parliament then proceeds up the Royal Mile. Due to the gradient and cobbles, it can be challenging for anyone using a wheelchair or who has walking difficulties.
The Edinburgh parade team run a Ride with Pride open topped bus that travels the route and is free to register a space. We're also organising an accessible MS Society cheer spot for anyone who wants to watch the parade with fellow MS-ers, friends and family.

Our commitment to equality
We support Pride marches to celebrate our LGBTQIA+ MS community. It's important to raise visibility of the health inequalities they face and keep equity at the heart of our mission to be there for everyone affected by MS.
Pride month is a celebration of how far LGBTQIA+ rights have come. But it’s also a time to look at the challenges LGBTQIA+ communities face right now. And the LGBTQIA+ MS community is no different.
Read more in our blog on health inequalities
Our on-the-day parade attendance is organised by our volunteer LGBTQIA+ staff network SPECTRUM. Taking part in Pride is one of the things we do to make sure we're here for everyone with MS.

We're always on the look out for stories about life with MS to share with the community. So get in touch.
