MS Awareness Week 2026 runs from 20 - 26 April. We're once again working with other MS charities to encourage everyone to raise awareness of MS.
This MS Awareness Week, we’re challenging the assumptions surrounding multiple sclerosis—and highlighting the harm these misconceptions can cause for people living with the condition. To better understand the real experiences behind these assumptions, we surveyed the MS community, gathering insights that have helped shape and strengthen this campaign. Throughout the week, we’ll be sharing personal stories, information and resources that shed light on the misunderstandings people with MS face, and the real-life consequences these assumptions can have.
Living with MS is not easy. We want to encourage everyone to pause, listen and learn about MS before saying something that might hurt or offend someone living with it. Think you know MS? It’s time to think again.
For MS Awareness Week, we're excited to be partnering with some of the UK's biggest MS charities. We are working alongside :
All of these charities will be part of the conversation, working together to spread awareness.
Below are some posters we created for you to download and print off to help raise awareness this MS Awareness Week.
We will continue to update this space with additional resources in the lead up to MS Awareness Week.
MS Awareness Week runs from 20-26 April 2026.
This MS Awareness Week, the UK’s biggest MS charities are challenging assumptions about MS - and the harm they can cause. Think you know MS? We'll be sharing real stories, information and resources which might make you think again.
Living with MS is tough and we want to help raise awareness of MS to help educate the public.
To take part in MS Awareness Week, you can download and share the resources above to help raise awareness in your communities. This could include printing and displaying posters in your workplace, or starting conversations with others to help educate people about MS. To join in with the conversation throughout the week, make sure you’re following our social media channels. Stay updated, join in, and share your voice — we want to hear from you. Keep an eye out for interactive content on our social platforms throughout the week!
To help raise awareness of MS in support of a friend, you can share the content we post and download or print our resources. If you’d like to support someone living with MS even further, take time to learn about the condition. Encourage yourself to listen, learn, and understand before making assumptions.
Living with MS is challenging, and incorrect assumptions can lead to hurtful behaviour and real‑life consequences — from being underestimated at work to being questioned for using an accessible parking space. MS affects everyone differently. Symptoms vary from mild to severe, and many are not visible.
Take the time to listen, learn, and understand MS to avoid saying something that could unintentionally hurt or offend.
There is no specific MS Awareness Day, we instead have a week long Awareness Week, to help campaign for people living with MS.
A gift today ensures that everybody has access to trusted information and compassionate support, to help everyone feel more in control of their MS today and every day.
