Today we're launching our new campaign MS: Enough - make welfare make sense.

Over 1,700 people with MS completed our survey and shared their expierences of claiming benefits. We found that too many people aren't getting the support they need and are having to make difficult choices about whether they can afford essentials or spend time with family and friends.

The latest issue of Teamspirit, 201, is out now.

July's edition features an update on our Carers Week activity, feedback from the spring Volunteer Forums, the latest on our campaigns and the new Support Grants Handbook. As usual, you can also catch-up on research, fundraising and finance updates, as well as enjoying news from across the nations.

This week (8-14 June) is Carers Week and the MS Society is proud to be a supporting of this annual campaign to raise awareness of caring, highlight the challenges carers face and recognise the contribution they make throughout the UK.

This week, 1-7 June, is Volunteers’ Week and we’re taking this opportunity to say a huge THANK YOU to all our volunteers across the UK.

From branch chairs to treasurers, fundraisers and campaigners, newsletter editors, minibus drivers and secretaries, to name but a few, volunteers are a valued and integral part of everything we do.

Michelle Mitchell, Chief Executive says, “Volunteers’ Week is always a great opportunity to say thank you to our volunteers for their incredible hard work and commitment to improving the lives of people affected by MS.

The bumper 200th edition of Teamspirit is out now!

The Local Networks team are organising a series of Volunteer Forums across the UK this spring, for all local volunteers.
