MS Awareness Week 21st-27th April 2008

31.03.08

This year’s MS Awareness Week is focusing on the physical, emotional and financial costs of MS.

A motion has been tabled in the Scottish Parliament to highlight this and support the week. You can view the motion (number S3M-1627) on the  Scottish Parliament's website If your local MSP has not signed up to it yet please email them and ask them to support it.

The Society has also organised a fringe meeting at the STUC Congress in Inverness on 22nd April to raise awareness of work-related MS issues.

We will also be launching the next phase of the ‘Putting the Pieces Together’ awareness campaign during the week, so keep a look out for the new adverts in the press. See the adverts on the UK site

'Call for increase in awareness of the costs of MS' - read our press release

If you want to find out more about the national activities during MS Week or are organising something locally you would like us to help promote, please contact the National Office.
