MS-UK is a national charity formed in 1993. We are here for people affected by multiple sclerosis (MS) – that’s around 107,000 people in the UK and 2.3 million worldwide. MS-UK is here for anyone affected by MS, to empower them to live healthier and happier lives. We are a community-led charity and the voices of people affected by MS shape everything we do as we work towards our mission of improving the understanding of MS and providing support where it is needed most.
