ActivitiesThe MS Society is the UK's largest charity for people affected by multiple sclerosis (MS). It is a membership organisation, with c.32,000 members (2017), made up of people living with MS. The MS Society has a network of branches (approximately 270) and 5,500 volunteers, who help to raise awareness and funds for the Society, both locally and nationally. MS Society activities include:
The MS Society receives most of its income from personal donations. It also raises money through sponsored events. The charity has a Research Strategy Committee chaired by Brian Meaden.
