About us

Here we hope you will be able to find out a bit about our group and our aims.

We are, as yet, a relatively small group of people (and slowly growing all the time) local to the Alton and surrounding areas. Many of us are living with MS but you don't have to have MS to be a part of the group, we welcome anyone interested in coming along to our meetings.

Our branch is part of the Multiple Sclerosis Society which is the UK's largest charity for people affected by MS in the UK, about 85,000 people. A figure that is under review and will change.

Our branch offers advice and help to people in the area who are living with or affected by MS by way of a good old fashioned get together or a chat. The welfare (support) officer can assist in relation to help and services in the community and information on benefits, grants and form filling. We meet regularly, chat about everything and nothing, have a laugh and arrange social events for all the family.

We always welcome new members and need volunteers.

Remember, a problem or situation shared is a problem halved and we are here to help, member or not. If we can't help then we know someone who can.
