The MS Trust has been awarded a £50,000 National Lottery Community Fund grant. The funding will help deliver our vital MS services during the Covid-19 pandemic.

New research from the MS Trust has revealed that over half (53%) of people with multiple sclerosis do not feel that their mental health needs are being met.

People living with neurological conditions like MS are missing out on vital treatment and support as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a recent survey by the Neurological Alliance.

New data from Public Health England (PHE) and the MS Society has revealed that the number of people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) in the UK has risen to over 130,000** – that’s around 1 in every 500** people.

While the confusion and uncertainty of lockdown and the Covid-19 outbreak continues worldwide, MS doesn't stop. So the MS Trust will not stop either.

During the pandemic many people with MS were told to shield. But what was it like for the keyworkers with MS? In this episode we chat to Mel, about her experiences of working as a nurse during lockdown. And speaking of nurses, we also chat to MS Trust CEO David Martin, about what happened to the MS Nurses and the MS Trust Nurse program during 2020.

We caught up with MS Trust CEO, David Martin, to ask questions like, "How is the MS Trust different to the MS Society?" and learn about our upcoming projects. We're also joined by Fundraising Manager, Mark, to hear about volunteering opportunities.

People with neurological conditions are facing long waiting times, limited access to specialists, poor mental health support and a failing social care system, according to a new survey by The Neurological Alliance.

This MS Awareness Week, we are calling on people with MS to pop on their pumps and introduce a little activity into their daily routine. Staying active doesn’t need to mean running marathons or going to the gym, it’s about doing it at your own level, at your own pace. Doing it YOUR way.
