The MS Trust is a UK charity that believes that no one should have to manage MS alone. Since we were established in 1993 our focus has been to ensure people with MS can live life to the full.

130 people are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis every week in the UK. That's one person every two hours.

The MS Trust is here for everyone affected by MS, from the moment of diagnosis and throughout your journey. We're here for you today, tomorrow and every day after, making sure a life with MS isn't a life defined by MS.

We’re funding MS specialist nurses

Right now, around 8 in 10 people with MS live in areas where there are not enough MS nurses to look after everyone. That's simply not right, so we're working with the NHS to fund new MS nurses in the areas that need them most and ensure people with MS have the care and support they need.

We’re answering your questions about MS

Whether you have recently been diagnosed, want to know more about a symptom you are experiencing, or need information on the different MS drugs and treatments, our friendly and knowledgeable enquiries team are here to answer your questions. Our service is confidential and if we can't find the answer, we can direct you to someone who can. You can get in touch with us in whatever way suits you best.

We’re making a difference for people with advanced MS

There are an estimated 40,000 people across the UK living with advanced MS. Advanced MS can have a devastating impact, and symptoms are complex and debilitating. Our research has found that many people with advanced MS report losing contact with MS specialist services as their condition gets worse, having to rely on informal care from family and friends, and sometimes having to manage the condition alone. Our Advanced MS Champions Programme funds specialist 'Champions' across the UK to provide guidance, support and coordinated care for those people who need it most.

We’re providing information you can trust

Wherever you are with MS, our award-winning information service is here for you when you need it. We believe in providing the best help and support so you can take control and live a life with MS, not defined by MS. We produce practical, reliable, evidence-based information, online, in print and in video, covering a whole range of topics, from lifestyle tips to MS symptoms; explaining MS to kids to drugs and treatments.

We’re training and supporting MS health professionals

We support MS health professionals in their training and development to ensure they can provide you with the best possible care. Since 2000, we’ve provided the essential training for every new MS specialist nurse in the UK and we also support your wider MS team with residential training, study days and the biggest annual conference for MS professionals in the UK.

We’re speaking up for the MS community

The MS Trust is committed to ensuring everyone with MS can access the treatments and services they need and deserve. We want to ensure that all voices and viewpoints are heard and amplify the voices of people who have been marginalised.

 We also work collaboratively with MS charities, the NHS, and other decision makers to influence change and ensure the voice of the MS community is always heard loud and clear when it comes to the decisions that affect them.
