Our Stop MS appeal is well underway, with over £80 million of our £100 million target achieved, and is a major focus of our work. This will allow us to invest millions in ground breaking research, all with the goal of stopping MS as we know it.

We recognise the significant and excellent contributions; experience; and skills our employees bring to the MS Society.
