About the MS Trust


MS Trust staff

Around 135 people are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis every week in the UK. That's one person every two hours.

From the moment of diagnosis, it can feel like control is whipped away from us and just trying to predict what today will feel like can feel impossible. But when treatment and support is fragmented and unpredictable too, life becomes even more challenging.

We exist to change that. From our very beginnings, we’ve been driven by a belief that the way things are isn’t the way they have to be.

MS is unpredictable. MS treatment and support shouldn't be.

When friends Chris and Jill decided enough was enough and that people living with MS needed to feel more in control of their condition, the MS Trust was born. Ever since, we’ve been working to demystify MS, and provide the best and most relevant information to everyone living with MS, whatever it looks like for them. 

Today, we bring more parts of MS expertise and support together than ever. Through trusted information and compassionate support, the training of new MS healthcare professionals, and research rooted in real experience – we bring together expertise from every angle. For every MS. For every day.
