Multiple Sclerosis Trust

The Multiple Sclerosis Trust (MS Trust) is an independent, national UK charity that was established in 1993 by Chris Jones, who lives with MS and her good friend Jill Holt, whose mum and aunt both had MS. They decided enough was enough and founded a small charitable trust - initially raising money through the sale of Christmas cards, to provide information, support and, perhaps most importantly, hope, to people with multiple sclerosis. Over 30 years later, it's a very different landscape, but our promise remains the same. We will always put people with MS at the heart of everything we do.

135 people are diagnosed with multiple sclerosis every week in the UK. That's one person every two hours. An MS diagnosis can be devastating for people with MS and their loved ones. You may feel lost, alone and uncertain about the future. But you don't have to deal with it alone. The MS Trust is here to help everyone affected by the disease, make sense of MS. From the moment of diagnosis and throughout your journey.

The MS Trust is based in the Spirella Building in Letchworth Garden City.
