About us

Who we are

The MS Trust is a UK charity who helps to make sense of MS. We are here for everyone affected by MS, from the moment of diagnosis and throughout their journey. We're here today, tomorrow and every day after, making sure a life with MS isn't a life defined by MS.

135 people are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis every week in the UK. That’s one person every two hours. An MS diagnosis can be devastating for people with MS and their loved ones. We fight to make sure everyone affected by MS can access good quality, specialist care and live the best life they possibly can. We support and train MS health professionals and fund MS specialist nurses and Advanced MS Champions across the UK. We produce practical, evidence-based information, online and in print, and our dedicated Helpline team are a friendly and knowledgeable voice to speak to for anyone who needs to know more about MS.

Our culture and values

People with MS are at the heart of the MS Trust. They shape and inform everything we do. Our people embody the values we hold.
Expert
We focus our expertise on empowering people with MS with the knowledge and confidence they need to maintain ownership of their lives, through the services we provide and through the health professionals we support, train and fund.
Caring
We treat everyone with care, kindness and respect. We value and celebrate diversity – and constantly work to empower people by respecting and appreciating what makes them different.
Trusted
We never take for granted the trust that people with MS and their communities place in us. And we strive to live up to that trust, every day.

Equality, diversity and inclusion policy

The MS Trust is committed to ensuring everyone with MS can access the treatments and services they need and deserve. We aim to represent and reach all people affected by MS including Black, Asian and minority ethnic people, LGBTQ+ people, and people living with disabilities. We want to ensure that all voices and viewpoints are heard and amplify the voices of people who have been marginalised.

We aim to be an inclusive and diverse organisation, where all staff represent and understand the diversity of the sector we represent. We are committed to building an inclusive culture that is intolerant of discrimination, bullying and harassment.

We are the charity that makes sense of MS for everyone, whatever their personal or social circumstances.
