Hello from Shift.ms 👋 We’re a charity dedicated to connecting people with MS to others in a similar situation. We’re run by MSers, for MSers.

Our MS community (no more indigestible leaflets!)

We run a digital platform for MSers. It’s a growing, vibrant, global community of over 40,000 members.

Every day we see our members supporting, giving advice and sharing tips with each other. 87% of our members receive the support they need within 24 hours of posting on the forum.

It’s completely free and takes a couple of minutes to sign-up. Click here to join the community: http://www.shift.ms

The Buddy Network

We also run a service called ‘The Buddy Network’. Which connects MSers on a one-to-one basis. We have many MSers with lived experience who are ready to support you.

An MS diagnosis can be isolating, despite the support of your family and friends. It helps to have someone like you to chat to. Someone who can work through some of the obstacles you're facing and gets what it’s like to live with MS.

The Buddy Network is an international service. It's free and you can connect in a way that works best for you. This might be in-person, on a video call, an email, over the phone or over WhatsApp.

Our MSer-led Videos & Blogs

We’re so proud to be able to offer a platform to anybody that wants to share their MS story with our community.

We work with members of the MS community to create compelling guest blogs and videos. We want to cover the aspects of living with MS that extend way beyond treatments and statistics.

Each week we publish blogs written by guest writers living with MS. They explore how MS has affected their relationships, careers, mental health, and much more. Click here to see our growing collection of guest blogs: https://www.shift.ms/blogs

We also produce video series like ‘Do All MSers Think The Same?’. We bring five MSers together to answer questions from our community. They then reveal why their answers are the same, or different. Click here to watch episodes on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/Shiftms

What our members say

“Still very new to MS, trying to get as much information as possible. Thanks to everyone for sharing their stories, it really helps.”

“For all the medical professionals who have read up about MS, they will never really get it! That’s not a criticism, just an observation. People on here really do get it!”
