Pharmaceutical and other industry supporters


With the interests of people with MS at our core, we believe it is important to work cooperatively with all stakeholders in MS, including the pharmaceutical, medical equipment and biotechnology companies and contract research organisations.

Funding from industry supporters goes towards our work with health professionals. We will not accept industry funding for our publications for people affected by MS.

We will always ensure the integrity and independence of the MS Trust is maintained. All industry funding will be acknowledged on our website.
