Policy and Campaigns
Our Policy and Campaigns department is working to persuade the government to provide services which will meet the needs of people with MS. Campaigning also raises public awareness of MS, helps to promote disability rights, and raises the profile of the society.
We will be building on our work to consult more closely with people affected by MS.
